Part of The Nonprofit Impact Series:
Are we investing our resources into the right programs? Do you have a program you love, but suspect it might not be a good financial return for your organization? Yes, some programs are worth the effort even at a loss—but some aren’t. How do you determine which is which?
Answering this question is the keystone to advancing community benefit and building financial health. This workshop explores the process of screening programs against your desired community outcomes so that you can determine the best portfolio of programs to carry forward into your next budgeting and strategy window. The process builds organizational integrity and sets the stage for more sophisticated financial analysis of the work that you do.
Participants should come with both a list of organizational programs/effort and a list of general community outcomes your organization seeks to advance.
When: December 17, 9-11am
Where: The Leadership Hub, 6010 Executive Blvd, Suite 200, Rockville, MD 20852
