Maximizing Operating Reserves: Best Practices for Trade and Professional Associations

Despite the best of intentions, things don’t always go as planned. That’s why an organization’s reserves, or net assets without donor restrictions, serve as a hedge against economic fluctuations, unexpected expenses, and/or revenue shortfalls. With the financial cushion provided by reserves, your association can maintain operations and continue delivering services to members even during the most challenging of times. Reserves also offer the flexibility to invest in strategic initiatives, capitalize on opportunities for growth, and support long-term projects without compromising financial stability.
