This module introduces program managers in community-based organizations to the basics of nonprofit financial management. You don’t need to be an accountant to understand how your program’s budget works, what your funding can and can’t be used for, or how to spot when something’s off. This training walks through where nonprofit money comes from, how it’s spent, and how to stay in compliance with grant rules. You’ll learn how to read simple budgets, keep track of expenses, talk to your finance team, and play your part in building a transparent and sustainable organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the basic components of a nonprofit budget and how to interpret a financial report. 
• Accurately track program expenses and connect them to the correct funding sources. 
• Recognize common financial red flags and know when and how to raise concerns.
