Full description of Financial Management and Planning for Non-profit Agencies:
This workshop is for non-profit agency board and staff members who want to learn how to evaluate the financial condition of their agency and to communicate with board and staff members who are not financial professionals. How do you know if your organization is financially empowered or vulnerable? You should always be able to answer this question, not only when your organization is in crisis! This workshop will review key financial management concepts for nonprofit organizations including the elements that contribute financial empowerment or vulnerability. The hands-on workshop will also include how to use tools for financial analysis such as basic ratios, cash flow analyses, and reading/using financial statements.
This workshop differs greatly from Understanding Non-profit Finances with Duane Shoen, scheduled for June 19. In that session the focus is on reading and using financial statements, whereas in this session the emphasis is on how to use financial statements and analyses to gauge the strengths and vulnerabilities of the organization.
Full description of Tools for Managing through Financial Hard Times:
This workshop will cover basic tools of financial analysis that address how you can respond when your organization faces funding reductions, deficits and other financial challenges. The workshop will cover basic financial analysis tools to help you understand your financial situation. The session will also provide information about management processes you can use to generate understanding, if not consensus, about your financial condition and the actions you take to address it. Finally, the workshop will provide an overview of broad-based strategies organizations use to address financial concerns and the strengths and limitations of those strategies.
