Understanding the Nonprofit Public Support Test: Safeguarding Your Organization's Status 

As a nonprofit leader, we have all wished for one foundation who could swoop in and make all our financial issues go away.  A foundation that would invest so deeply in our mission that we could focus on the work instead of the hustle.  Somebody can dream, right?  

This is one wish that could be incredibly harmful and damaging to your organization should it ever come true.  And we, as nonprofit leaders, need to be prepared to turn these types of gifts away to protect our organization – or know how to mitigate the danger.
