For nonprofit executive directors, keeping board members informed of the organization's programmatic work and progress towards strategic goals can be tricky. After all, the board does need to know about most major developments, but not everything qualifies as such—even though it might be especially exciting or important in the eyes of the ED.

With fall and winter on the horizon, the critical end-of-year fundraising season is coming into view for many nonprofits. And as in previous years, a major kickstart to these campaigns is GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity that has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, now accounting for some $3.6 billion in donations to nonprofits globally, 2024 data show.

Now that most nonprofits are again holding their board meetings in person—or, at least, using a hybrid model of some virtual and some in-person meetings—the topic of reimbursing board members for their expenses related to meeting attendance is once again relevant. While long-established nonprofits and their seasoned boards might be fluent in the ins and outs of expense reimbursement, those with fewer years under their belts might need some insight into the basics.

Nonprofits in 2025 are navigating a volatile landscape shaped by tightening funding, delayed government reimbursements, rising operational costs and increasing demand for services. To adapt and stay mission-focused, they are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI), not just as a technological upgrade, but as a strategic tool for boosting efficiency, enhancing fundraising and maximizing program impact.
