This dashboard is new and interesting, if scary: To estimate how long nonprofits can survive without government grants, we calculated their “cash runway.” Cash runway estimates how many months a nonprofit receiving government grants could continue operating if those grants stopped but everything else (i.e., expenses and other income) stayed the same. We also calculated how many people work at these nonprofits and therefore could be at risk of losing their jobs.
Candid Labs is our new product development area, where we offer free access to the funder and RFP recommendation tools, the AI LOI writer, an AI chatbot to answer fundraising questions.
