Course Description :
Are you passionate about making a positive impact in your community? Do you want to learn the essential skills needed to effectively manage the finances of a nonprofit organization? Look no further! We are excited to announce our new Financial Management Free Certificate program!
This program, co-developed with David Greco of Social Sector Partners, will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure the financial stability and success of your nonprofit. In just 2 hours and 45 minutes, you will learn why financial stability should be the number one priority for any nonprofit, as without it, there can be no mission.
One of the key components of the program is understanding the full cost of operating a nonprofit. This includes not only the direct expenses, such as salaries and program costs, but also indirect costs such as rent, utilities, and insurance. Understanding the full cost allows nonprofits to accurately budget and make informed decisions about their financial sustainability.
You will also learn how to use common financial statements, such as the income statement and balance sheet, to evaluate the financial health of your nonprofit. These statements can help you identify areas for improvement and make strategic financial decisions to improve the organization's viability.
This program is designed for anyone who operates a nonprofit or is interested in nonprofit financial management. Whether you are a board member, staff member, or volunteer, this program will provide you with valuable skills that can be applied to any nonprofit organization. And while the content is geared towards U.S. nonprofits, the principles are relevant worldwide.
By completing three courses and passing the exam, you will earn a certificate, badge, and 2.75 points in Category 1.B – Education for CFRE credit. This can be used for initial certification and/or recertification with CFRE International, a widely recognized credential in the nonprofit sector.
We understand that everyone has busy schedules, so we have structured the curriculum so that courses can be completed in order, and the exam can be taken at your convenience. And don't worry, if you don't pass the exam on your first try, you can retake it until you achieve a passing score of 80%.
We believe that financial stability is crucial for the success of any nonprofit, and we are committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve it. So don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your financial management skills and make a greater impact in your community.
