Nonprofits are being told that AI is the solution to everything from donor outreach to grant writing. But for many leaders, it’s added more complexity with ethical concerns, staff burnout, and donor trust all at stake. This session introduces a problem-first framework that shows nonprofits how to work smarter, not harder with AI.
Webinar
As a nonprofit board member or executive director, your role carries significant responsibility. Beyond the passion for the mission, there’s a legal and ethical obligation to ensure that your organization is financially sound, transparent, and accountable to the public trust. This session is designed to equip you with the tools, insights, and knowledge to fulfill these duties with efficacy, confidence, and integrity.
Curious about nonprofit finances but not sure where to start? This session is designed for non-financial leaders who want to better understand how money flows through a nonprofit and how to use that knowledge to make stronger decisions. We’ll break down key financial statements – like the statement of financial position, activities, and cash flow – into plain language and explore how budgets support organizational goals. You’ll also learn how to spot financial trends, interpret surpluses and deficits, and uncover the story behind the numbers.
If your nonprofit’s funding feels unpredictable or overly dependent on one source, you’re not alone. In this session, we’ll walk through how to create a revenue model that can support your mission through ups and downs—without constantly scrambling for the next grant or donor. You’ll learn how to assess what’s working, spot the gaps, and explore smart ways to diversify your income. The goal? A stronger, more reliable financial foundation that gives you room to grow and the confidence to plan ahead.
