SUMMARY:Integrating Financial Health Assessments into Your Organization’s Planning Process
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThe markers for tracking and assessing a nonprofit organization’s financial health are not a mystery. The key elements of financial health (operating reserves\, funding\, and operational expenses) are generally easy to identify and understand. The biggest challenge is making the commitment to periodically pause and assess which direction the key markers of financial health are trending (up or down). We will discuss how adopting a commitment to pause and make an honest assessment of your organization’s every changing financial picture is an essential best practice. We will also discuss why operating reserves need to be treated as a key strategic financial health priority. Organizations that have accumulated significant operating reserves are in a more sustainable position than organizations that do not have adequate operating reserves. Thus\, operating reserves are an important indicator of longevity and financial health.\n \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain the key elements of financial health and how they respond to changing conditions and unexpected disruptions. \nDesign and implement procedures to perform a periodic financial health assessment within their organization. \nAnalyze the role of operating reserves in organizational sustainability and use them as a strategic indicator of financial health. \nApply a financial health assessment template\, adapting it to evolving organizational needs and strategic priorities. \n\n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n \n  \n
