Whether you’re a seasoned executive director, a board member, or new to a nonprofit finance role, this workshop offers tools, examples, and templates to help you move from financial uncertainty to financial strategy.

Who Should Attend:

  • Executive Directors
  • Finance Staff
  • Board Members (especially Treasurers)

What You’ll Gain:

  • A framework for evaluating your nonprofit’s financial health
  • Tools to communicate financial information clearly and confidently
