We love talking about impact. But what about the resources that make that impact possible?

For many working in the non-profit sector, financial management was not what brought you to the work. You may find yourself responsible for a program budget, tracking spending, or making decisions about resources without ever having had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals.

That is exactly where Financial Management & Planning comes in.

This workshop is designed for people newer to financial management or who have never had formal training and want to better understand how money moves through their organization, how to build and manage a realistic budgets, and how financial decisions connect to program impact.

Register today and learn how strong financial management and planning can lead to better decisions and results.
