## Resource

I want to have an honest conversation with nonprofit leaders today. Many people spend months planning their programs, defining their mission, and filing their paperwork. But they never stop to ask one critical question: Where is the money going to come from? If your entire funding strategy is "we'll figure it out later," you're creating problems that will eventually show up as stress, burnout, and financial instability.
