NCG is pleased to announce a three-part financial workshop series in partnership with Fiscal Management Associates (FMA). The FMA Financial Workshop Series builds upon the Financial Analysis Training: Assessing Nonprofit Financial Health (previously hosted at NCG) and will take a deeper dive into the details of financial management. All three workshops in this series are designed to help funders support your grantees in building financial management practices, strengthen your partnership with grantees for financial sustainability and inform your own grantmaking practice.
We encourage you to register for all three workshops, however, it is not necessary since each workshop is unique and does not require content or background from the previous workshop.
About this Workshop
In this final finance workshop in the series, funders will gain an understanding of how to engage in a dialogue with grantees to identify their capacity for fiscal strategy around complex issues. The session will focus on understanding they key components of strategic financial management, especially as it relates to the following issues:
- Building and managing operating reserves
- Capital budgeting and planning
- Multi-year financial forecasting to support sustainability and growth
- Managing financial risk
- Financial strategy and oversight at the board governance level
Join us for an informal lunch following the program.
