* This session assumes basic knowledge of financial management and reporting. If you do not already have experience in the basic terminology of nonprofit financials, please register for and attend the Financial Series: Intro to Financial Statements before these sessions. Due to the intensive nature of this session, it will not be offered via remote access.
Financial statements and an organization’s 990 each tell a story. Using the two financial documents together can yield so much more information than the financial status of the organization. Grantmakers who are well-versed in these documents can use them to answer questions about a grantee’s trajectory, its governance, its financial stability and even how it is strategically deploying its resources. These documents can help a grantmaker tactically deploy resources where a nonprofit needs them the most and can guide a grantmaker into a deeper conversation with a grantee around current risks, future growth, or targeted investments to achieve impact.
Intended Outcomes
Upon completing this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognize which document to use when analyzing issues related to a grantee’s health
- Demonstrate an ability to analyze an organization’s financial health through the 990 and financial statements, from beginning to end
- Identify potential areas of investment that could strengthen a grantee or help to expand a program
- Formulate follow-up questions for potential grantees around areas of risk
