Talking about charity reserves

Is your charity or non-profit talking about reserves for rainy days? Three charity CEOs get real about the tricky business of charity reserves management.

What are charity reserves? Should all charities have them? And is it time to rethink when and how rainy day funds are used and not used?

These are just a few of the questions Sarah Vibert, CEO of NCVO, puts to Jane Ide, CEO of ACEVO and Caron Bradshaw, CEO of Charity Finance Group, in this latest charity finance podcast.
