Event Description

Learn a step-by-step approach to identifying and interpreting useful information from nonprofit audited financial statements. Using a straightforward set of audited financial statements from a real nonprofit organization, this session will provide:

  • Guidance for understanding the business model and capital structure of a nonprofit
  • Recommended approaches to using financial information in your grantmaking practice
  • Tips for communicating with grantees about finance

The virtual 201 session can be experienced as a continuation of the earlier session on Nonprofit Finance 101: The Building Blocks or joined as a standalone session by those who already have an understanding of nonprofit financial statements.
