About this Program

Managing finances in a nonprofit organization requires more than basic accounting skills. Unlike for-profit businesses, nonprofits must carefully track restricted and unrestricted funds, ensure compliance with donor and grant regulations, and maintain financial transparency for stakeholders. Nonprofit leaders with savvy financial management skills can respond nimbly to changing funding landscapes to help their organization survive – and thrive.

In this one-course specialization, you'll explore key financial topics tailored to nonprofits. We'll cover areas like fund accounting principles, budget development, strategic financial planning and analysis, and compliance with grant and donor restrictions. Deepen your understanding of nonprofit financial management practices to address the unique financial challenges faced by nonprofits. In the end, you'll be prepared to enhance your organization's strategic planning and long-term financial sustainability.
