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
