Course Purpose

Every nonprofit organization has a business model if they realize that or not, learn what a non-profit business model is and how to assess and modify the business model to strengthen the overall resilience of the organization.

By the way, the lessons in this program are taken from the  Finance Masterclass for Nonprofit Leaders and are considered hallmarks of that program!

See the course outline below for the list of lessons and takeaway tools.

Why take this course?

• Maybe you realize that reading financial statements doesn’t tell you enough about why your organization’s financial performance is being hindered and want to learn how to strengthen the resilience of the organization;
• Maybe you didn’t even realize that every organization has a business model and that understanding the business model is vital to increase the organization’s resilience;
• Maybe you are unclear how to analyze the organization’s business model in order to develop plans to strengthen the organization’s resilience;
• Maybe you thought you didn’t realize that the understanding the business model will allow you to have better understanding of financial planning and analysis;
• Maybe you have sacrificed professional development dollars for program staff and now realize that you need professional development too!;
• Maybe you’ve been trying to avoid any kind of training that resembles math because you didn’t do well in math when you were in school (join the club by the way, that’s how I felt!);
