Strategic Budgeting for Impact in 2026: Aligning Mission, Money, and Modernization 

Are your priorities in place to meet your organization’s needs and those of the people you serve? Learn how successful nonprofits and associations kept their budget agile during 2025 and are better prepared for the uncertainty of 2026.

Our latest research shows that member and donor retention are top priorities for both association and nonprofit professionals over the next year. But in order to retain these sources of revenue, mission-driven organizations must reevaluate the budgetary strategies that shaped their 2025 plans. It’s time to move from the traditional budget models that once shaped the association and nonprofit industries and start to consider models that can optimize budget flexibility and innovation.

This webinar will provide you with:

Insights from our annual 2025 Nonprofit and Associations Reports with real budget data and benchmarking trends year-over-year

How to shift from reactive to proactive budgeting practices

Tips to create adaptive, scenario-based budgets to withstand volatility (membership fluctuations, funding uncertainty, etc.)

Best practices incorporating tech investments into the budget as a hedge against disruption

Strategies for allocating a dedicated portion of annual budgets into funding reserves specifically for innovation, experimentation, and modernization efforts

Whether you’re the CFO of an enterprise association, a nonprofit marketing professional, or an executive director of a small-staff organization, our session is one you don’t want to miss. In a fluctuating economic environment, preparing your budget to be agile and successful is more important than ever.
