About Money, Mission, Strategy

Money, Mission, Strategy is an innovative peer-based educational clinic designed to equip nonprofits with the knowledge and skills they need to assess their financial health and incorporate practical financial planning tools into day-to-day communications and management. The clinic is composed of several components.

Program Objectives

• Participants will have a greater awareness and understanding of their organizations’ financial health and trends.
• Participants will be better able to evaluate their business model and understand how programs link to financial structure.
• Participants will employ better planning and budgeting practices.

Participants will receive an electronic copy of a diagnostic report detailing their organization’s financials in various charts. By the end of the clinic, each participating organization will have generated a framework (that includes the graphs, observations and next steps) that serves as a tool for communicating its financial condition and needs to board members, staff and funders.
