Using Pipeline Reports to Navigate Funding and Improve Sustainability

November 12 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Course Description: 

For nonprofit organizations, a robust and well-managed funding pipeline is the lifeblood of long-term sustainability. This session provides a deep dive into the creation, analysis, and strategic application of pipeline reports, which track and project incoming revenue from all sources, including grants, major gifts, individual donors, and contracts. Participants will learn how to transition from reactive fundraising to proactive financial forecasting by establishing clear pipeline stages, accurately estimating close rates, and identifying potential gaps in future funding. We will cover how to use this data not only to manage the development team but also to inform the annual budget, guide strategic decisions about program expansion, and communicate a reliable vision of financial health to the board. Mastering pipeline reporting is key to ensuring continuous operations and achieving mission impact.

 

Learning Objectives:

Design a Pipeline: Structure a comprehensive funding pipeline that incorporates various revenue streams (grants, individual giving, etc.) into a single, cohesive reporting system.
 
Forecast Revenue: Utilize pipeline metrics, such as close rates and average gift size, to generate accurate and reliable revenue forecasts for the current and subsequent fiscal years.
 
Identify Funding Gaps: Analyze pipeline reports to proactively identify potential shortfalls or high-risk areas in future funding and develop contingency plans.
 
Communicate Sustainability: Leverage pipeline reports to effectively communicate the organization’s current funding trajectory and long-term sustainability outlook to the board, staff, and external partners.
