In order to make sound funding decisions, grantmakers must have a firm grasp of the story told by the numbers. Nonprofit organizations face increasing financial challenges in today’s operating environment, but understanding the financial health of both current and prospective grantees is a critical part of the grantmaking process. Focusing on effective approaches to reading and interpreting financial statements, this session will equip grantmakers to understand their grantees’ financial reality by presenting concepts and tools applicable to grantees across a range of mission areas and business models.
