MONEY & MISSION: MANAGING IN A CHANGED AND CHANGING ECONOMIC
REALITY
Planning in today's uncertain environment requires both nonprofit
leaders to know where an organization stands financially and to
understand how much financial risk they can tolerate. To make good
decisions, nonprofits not only need accurate, up–to–date, and clear
financial information, but also the ability to interpret and use this
financial information to plan and manage. This workshop series will help
nonprofit leaders develop and use financial information to make better
(and often difficult) decisions as well as help them to better
communicate to their supporters, funders, and board.
Who Should Attend:
Executive Directors, Chief Finance and/or Operations Officers, and Board
Members are all invited to attend. A good basic understanding of
financial statements is helpful.
