Reply to comment by tesla3by3 in Pittsburgh's largest nonprofit is concerned that its profits are down by thanxhaveagood1

Thanks for the clarification. In what circumstances would a company have to spend all their money before the end of the year? I heard in passing a while ago that someone had leftover money and they were looking for ways to spend it on their business before the end of year or the government would require it to be paid to them. I figured it was nonprofit stuff but now I'm curious what it is.

The only thing I can of that would be close to this scenario would be government grants. If the government gave my nonprofit a grant to do a project, and I didn’t do it by a certain date, I could lose my funding. But I couldn’t just spend it on anything, like a year’s worth of office supplies or rent.

IIRC, BC/BS in my home state generated so much "excess revenue" that state legislators required them to redistribute some of it to policyholders or turn it over to the state.
