Meghan and I teamed up for this episode to answer your questions about nonprofit dissolution. When do you know it's time to dissolve? What happens if you actually accomplish your mission? What do you do with leftover money? Tune in, and let's get existential!

It’s a resource built on the understanding that running a nonprofit is a continuous practice of problem-solving, and Jess guides these explorations with clarity and a deep respect for the work.
