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?

- Demonstrate an ability to analyze an organization’s financial health through the 990
