This members-only program is a part of the Financial Series (Fundamentals to Financials) from our PNY Core:

*Please note: Participants will automatically be registered for all two sessions in this two-part series.  Due to the intensive nature of these sessions, they will not be offered via remote access.


The IRS Form 990 is used by funders as a tool to track and scrutinize the finances, governance and accomplishments of grant applicants and recipients.  The form creates a level playing field for an otherwise diverse sector.  What information can be gleaned from the form? What are the critical focus areas?

Intended Outcomes

Upon completing this session, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an ability to analyze an organization’s financial health through the 990
  • Analyze an organization’s 990 for potential red flags
  • Use the 990 to understand governance of the organization
  • Identify questions to raise with the grant applicant or grantee about their 990

Presenter

Designed for

Funders with less than two years of experience in the field – program-officers, CEOs and other staff, as well as trustees. It is also recommended for experienced grantmakers seeking a refresher in the basic financial tools of grantmaking.
