Linking Money to Mission: Uncovering the Financial Story
Join us for a full day of education on nonprofit finance, planning and management presented by the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF). Learn to balance your organization's mission with its financial realities. Plan for an in-depth and dynamic discussion of your organization's financial situation, plans for the future, and strategies for achieving long-term goals. This workshop includes an overview of the rules of nonprofit finance, and key concepts nonprofit leaders can use to understand their organization’s financial position and to manage financial strength.
Workshop highlights include:
- A crash course on interpreting financial statements to reveal the financial reality underpinning your programs
- The nuances of nonprofit revenue (i.e. restricted and unrestricted revenue)
- An organization’s balance sheet and what it says about adaptability and durability
- Real-life case studies, with financial information drawn from IRS Form 990s and audits, to demonstrate how the choices you make impact your organization's financial health and viability
- Dialogue about the challenges posed by growth, endowments, property ownership, and much more
- The use of financial information in communicating to funders and other stakeholders about your organization's financial story and resource needs
- Best practices in budgeting, and using the budget as a financial management and communication tool
