It can't happen to us!

Well... it could. And the good news is, you can avoid it. As a friend of a nonprofit, a Board Director or Senior Leader, you want to drive positive change for the people and causes you care about. And... the pool of potential and actual high quality board members and staff do not all have the same level of financial literacy.

I've just posted a blog article highlighting 4 key Strategies to keep your nonprofit out of financial trouble, so that you can do just that.

No charity or nonprofit wants to end up in the news for the wrong reasons. I've seen the strategies below succeed with NFPs from multiple sectors, and their clients or causes benefit from positive PR on an ongoing basis.

Here are four key areas where financial strategies and approaches can make or break an agency. If it's not now on your nonprofit's radar on an ongoing basis, table this group of finance areas, for a deep-dive meeting discussion asap.

​Follow this Blog Link to quickly learn to-do's & tips for each of these financial areas:

1. RECRUITING THE RIGHT BOARD MEMBERS & MANAGERS
2. FINANCIAL CONTROLS
3. MONITORING & AUDIT
4. FUNDRAISING

Inspiration

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
