Turning a Profit at Your Nonprofit: How Finance Can Be a Strategic Tool for Your Mission

For nonprofits, complying with regulatory requirements is crucial for maintaining a nonprofit status (as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and other regulating agencies). And it’s no secret that, just like any other organization, nonprofits must operate strategically, effectively and efficiently in order to scale. However, achieving these goals takes more than compliance alone. Each nonprofits mission is unique: donor funds need to focus dollars on furthering a cause and serving a public benefit. Often, finance teams that are under-resourced need to look for ways to bring greater impact. To be a successful nonprofit, efficiency is non-negotiable, so ensuring your organization operates in a connected fashion, set-up with the right people, processes, and technology to maximize productivity is mission critical. Join our webinar to learn about: 

• Developing strategy to advance your mission
• Bridge the communication gap between finance and program staff
• Optimizing your finance tech stack and integration to your organization
