An interview that the Chair did on CBC Radio. You can find it here: http://www.cbc.ca/player/AudioMobile/Ottawa+Morning/ID/2461866108/

AFP filmed all the sessions and is uploading them to the following YouTube channel (though we’re a little behind in receiving video): https://www.youtube.com/user/AFPInclusiveGiving/playlists

We eventually expect to have these Resources available through the Inclusive Giving Site directly.

Via the AFP Resource Center blogs we have collected the following over time:

Operating Reserves

The AFP Fundraising Dictionary defines reserves as "assets set aside that usually represent a percentage of an organization’s operating budget for an emergency or other use." An operating reserve may be thought of as a "rainy day" fund--assets set aside to cover unforeseen expenses that may arise.  Compare: CONTINGENCY FUND
