I know this sounds like a harsh question, but it\u2019s so important to evaluate. It\u2019s something I see all the time with many of the nonprofits my team and I work with. That\u2019s why, in this episode, I dive into the six main things nonprofits need to stop spending money on and what you can do instead.   I\u2019m sharing strategies for evaluating your budget and how you\u2019re allocating precious resources. Plus, a different way of thinking about these expenses and how you can take a new approach. For example, instead of chasing shiny objects and trying to do every new marketing strategy you see other nonprofits doing, do what you know works for your organization. That\u2019s just one of the many different strategies I break down in this episode. Tune in to hear them all!    Read the podcast transcript here.   Episode Summary In this episode, you\u2019ll learn strategies for identifying the things your organization needs to stop spending money on, including: Assessing how effective your programs and initiatives are (1:50) Staying focused on marketing strategies that work for your nonprofit (4:30) Using technology efficiently (5:45) Being strategic about fundraising expenses (8:00) Conducting thorough executive compensation reviews (12:10) Evaluating board meeting and travel expenses (15:55)   Teasers \u201cNot all expenses are bad. We are not talking about this because we are trying to get expenses as low as possible.\u201d \u201cI don't want to just do things because this is the way that we've always done it.
