Helping Nonprofit Groups Make Smart Financial Decisions

Tuesday, September 29, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time

Most nonprofit leaders are passionate about their causes and are adroit at finding creative ways to help those they serve.

However, many of those same leaders are not adequately trained in finance. As a result, they are often charged with making financial decisions without the right tools — and those decisions often work against their efforts to carry out their social missions.

What are some of the most pressing finance and business planning issues facing nonprofit groups? How can nonprofit leaders make smart decisions?

How can grant-making organizations help charity leaders overcome such challenges? What types of support should grant makers offer to nonprofit groups to help them succeed? And how can foundations and others streamline the grant-making process for nonprofit groups?

Join us on September 29 as we seek to answer those questions and more with the help of the leader of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, which recently published a new report called, "On the Money: The Key Financial Challenges Facing Nonprofits Today."
