administration staff, board treasurers and finance committee members.
The program will include both lecture and group participation and will
address:
-
How nonprofit finance differs from
the for-profit sector
-
How to identify essential financial
data in nonprofit financial statements
-
How to apply an understanding of
nonprofit finance to your grantmaking analysis
-
How a funder’s support can affect
financial scenarios
Presenters:

Jessica LaBarbera,
associate director, Northeast region
The Nonprofit Finance Fund’s Services
for Funders practice helps the funding community understand the
intricate dynamics of nonprofit finance and use financial information as
a platform to engage grantees in meaningful and open conversation about
their needs, opportunities and challenges so that grantmakers can make
decisions that best support organization missions while honoring the
foundation’s funding priorities.
Partial support for this program has been graciously provided by the
Jeniam Foundation.
