Without sound financial management, a nonprofit will not be able to effectively serve its community. Yet most nonprofit leaders have little or no formal training in this area, creating a constant source of stress and crises.

We will break down the key components of nonprofit finance and teach practical steps to improve your organization’s approach to financial management.
Learning Objectives:
- Become familiar with standard financial reports and how to read them

- Design reports that facilitate good decisions
