An effective nonprofit leader must be able to analyze and act upon financial information as part of an overall approach to strategic decision making. This course will focus on the core financial management issues faced by managing and senior attorneys, CEOs and board members in nonprofit organizations and social enterprises.
Students will learn the foundational tools and techniques for effective financial management, including budget development (i.e. applying a systematic method of allocating financial, physical, and human resources to achieve specific goals), responding to a request for proposal (RFP), program expansion, program portfolio analyses, financial forecasting and overall business model sustainability.
This class will meet over three days:
Thursday, 6:25 PM - 9:05 PM
Friday, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 3:10 PM - 6:10 PM
Saturday, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM - 4:10 PM
