They share simple ways associations can offer support, inspiration, and practical tools, especially when things feel uncertain.

Ever see the video “Everyone deserves a slice?” It asks the question: What is pizza shops were funded like human services nonprofits? It makes the case that we would never expect a pizza shop to operate at partial cost or with the kinds of restrictions we deal with regularly.

In this episode, Nancy and Sarah talk about how to cover the full cost of doing the work we do so we can better achieve our mission without the panic of never having enough money. They explore how full-cost budgeting can lead to healthier organizations and greater sustainability. You’ll hear practical, doable ways to understand your real costs, talk to funders about overhead (which we prefer to call cost administrative costs), and bring your board along for the journey. Tune in to learn how full cost accounting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about sustainability, transparency, and thriving in your mission.

Question to consider before listening:

What could your nonprofit do differently if you had all the funding you needed?
