According to the Nonprofit Finance Fund, three quarters of the 1.5 million nonprofits in the country have budgets under $1 million, and most are even smaller. Small organizations respond to local needs, and are started by people who are deeply committed to helping people and building community. Directors of small nonprofits wear many hats, and must know about fundraising, budgeting, managing a board, and everything else needed to run a mission driven organization.

This Table for Ten is for Directors of small and emerging nonprofits (budgets under $500,000.) Join your peers to share your challenges, learn about resources, and build a supportive network of nonprofit colleagues.

Tables for Ten meet three times for candid, confidential facilitated conversations and problem solving. As opposed to a formal presentation, the purpose is to learn from and support each other.

Participants must commit to attending all three meetings. Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis with priority for Nonprofit Montgomery member organizations. 

Wednesdays, February 21, March 14, and April 11 – 9 to 10:30am
The Nonprofit Village: 12320 Parklawn Dr, Rockville

FIRM for Program Directors (February 1, 2018) is a day-long workshop that provides program directors and department leaders with a deeper understanding of the financial processes, planning, and decision making that support strong program and organizational sustainability. Participants will learn about program level financial modeling, strategic budgeting, and financial reporting to build confidence and competence in making decisions that balance assets and outcomes (aka money and mission) for individual programs and the organization at large.

This session prepares program directors to make informed contributions to the nonprofit budgeting process and provides future leaders with a framework for thinking about nonprofit accountability and sustainability. Nonprofits are encouraged to send a team of program directors to be trained together.
