About
This three-session training is an opportunity to understand core language and skills about nonprofit finance in an expressly political context where we critically examine how capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy shape nonprofit financial reporting and systems.
Outcomes
Throughout the duration of this workshop you will:
- Understand key nonprofit financial terms and be better prepared to use that language in financial discussions within your organization
- Practice interpreting nonprofit financial statements and identify at least one thing they reveal about an organization’s financial model
- Explore the difference between income and wealth and how they are represented on nonprofit financial statements
- Reflect on and think critically about how white supremacy culture shapes nonprofit financial reporting and systems.
Intended audience
People working in nonprofits who are new to financial knowledge, who want to grow their general understanding and skills about nonprofit finance including (but not limited to!) people newly holding nonprofit finance roles, program managers, executive directors, and board members. This also includes people who are stepping into new roles, or who may not have a formal position related to managing money. We invite anyone working in the nonprofit and social justice space who wants to demystify foundational financial language, concepts, and documents to join us. We especially want to invite folks who are eager to learn these ideas and skills in a political context. This training won’t be a good fit for people looking to workshop their statements in real time or get deep technical assistance.
