Deconstructing Development is a special series, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to bring the fundraising community direct access to experts in areas important to achieving professional success. Each segment includes an introduction, followed by a 30-minute Q & A interview, allowing the WID community to write in with questions for our experts.
The COVID-19 pandemic means that nonprofits must carefully approach their finances, as many enter into planning for a new Fiscal Year during uncertain times. Join us as we interview our nonprofit financial expert, Hope Goldstein on all aspects of nonprofit budgeting, projections during the new normal and other accounting tips.
