About this listen

Sage's nonprofit marketing lead Natalie Anderson joins alongside Julie Raskin, CFO of WMHT Public Media, to break down the findings of Sage's 2026 Nonprofit Outlook report — and what it actually felt like to live through the disruptions it documents. Julie shares how WMHT navigated a $1.5 million revenue hit, from hiring their first grants manager to accepting donations of cars, real estate, and parking spaces. The conversation covers why the smartest nonprofit finance leaders have stopped chasing certainty and started building for resilience instead.
