Profiting as a Non-Profit: The Importance of Financial Diversity

Whether grant dollars, fundraising dollars, endowment dollars or public donation dollars, charitable organizations must make some money! Otherwise, how can the non-profit organization survive? Employees must be paid, electricity and telephone service must be kept, supplies must be bought, and other operational expenses must be taken care of-and everything will NOT come as a donation. Is your non-profit completely dependent on grants to sustain it? Having trouble organizing and prioritizing, and monitoring your organization's administrative expenses? Ever ask yourself: does being tax exempt mean that the only ways to obtain funding for the organization are through tax deductible contributions and grants?

When it comes to finding funding for your organization, sometimes being a tax exempt is not all it's "cracked-up" to be. Because non-profit organizations carry this dubious distinction, they must be even more circumspect in how they acquire, use and account for their funding and their spending. How would you like to learn about creative ways to increase your organization's cashflow in a way that will make the IRS very happy-and YOUR ORGANIZATION TOO! In this session, our keynote speakers will provide answers to these questions and share insights that might astound you!
