Financial Basics of Grant Review
Thousands of foundation officers have attended this half-day course outlining indicators of financial health and stability to look for in nonprofit grantees. This session presents the specifics of analyzing financial performance-including how to read and interpret financial statements-as well as how to spot financial trends. Along the way we'll unravel in plain English, the complexities of unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted net assets as well as conditional and unconditional contributions.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
- Read and interpret nonprofit financial statements
- Spot when a nonprofit is gaining ground, losing ground, or just breaking even
- Track financial trends
- Identify a "conditional" grant
- See how FASB accounting standards affect earned and donated income
- Spot "red flags" on financial statements
Whether you're new to foundations or just looking for a financial know-how refresher, this solid overview is for you.
