Nonprofits are often drawn to the idea of being ‘self-sustaining.’ Alternative revenue streams—like charging fees for services or partnering with for-profits—can sound appealing as ways to diversify income. But public charities must maintain broad donor support, and too much revenue from non-donation sources could even put their tax-exempt status at risk. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Amy Dosik joins us to answer common questions about social enterprise and what nonprofits need to know to stay compliant when adopting new revenue streams.
Managing employee medical information can be tricky—and for small nonprofits with limited staff and resources, it can feel overwhelming.

For nonprofits whose names may be attracting unwanted attention—or for those seeking to shift their public identity—adopting a “Doing Business As” (DBA) name can be a practical option. In Georgia, registering a DBA allows an organization to operate under a different name without changing its legal structure or tax-exempt status. This article outlines the process and key considerations for nonprofits exploring the use of a DBA.
