Missed Part 1? Register today and receive access to the recording so you can catch up before Parts 2 & 3.
Led by Joanne Curry, Head of Client Success & Principal at Creative Fundraising Advisors, this session explores nonprofit financial statements and the key information they contain — from grant applications and budget narratives to annual reporting. You'll learn how to read a Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Activities with confidence, identify the numbers funders and boards care about most, and translate financial data into clear, compelling narratives.
If financial statements have ever felt like a foreign language, this workshop will help you speak it fluently.
