Nonprofit Financial Institute | 2025
Proper financial management is key to any organization's success. With restricted funding, irregular cash flows, and a bevvy of unique challenges, understanding how to to interpret financial statements, manage funds, and tell your financial story is key for any nonprofit board member or leader.
The Nonprofit Financial Institute (NFI) is a two and a half day, hands-on institute that builds financial skills for nonprofit leaders without a background in finance. Equally, this institute will help board members with financial experience who are new to understanding the intricacies of nonprofit finance. The curriculum includes:- Nonprofit Financial Strategy: "Nonprofit" is a tax status, not a business model! Understand basic financial terms for the nonprofit sector and explore earned income potential.
- Reading between the lines: Each month, board members and leaders receive a series of financial statements. Learn the purpose of each, how to read them, and most importantly, how to ask questions and notice red flags.
- Budget and Grant Management: Practical ways to develop and manage budgets both for your organization and for specific grant projects.
- Telling your financial story: Create a narrative that shows your organization or departments financial position.
- Plus a few tips, tricks and tools of the trade that can make your life easier!
