Many nonprofits rely on conventional methods of making and managing money from donations to cash reserves, endowments, and capital building campaigns in hopes of securing financial stability for the future. Yet, these acquired funds often remain tantalizing out of reach for day-to-day operations. The balance sheet may look good, but the actual cash available is often surprisingly low.
In order to achieve their missions, nonprofits need to fundamentally change the way they think about money. Richard and Anna Linzer introduce a groundbreaking approach to nonprofit financial management based on cash flow and the use of credit that gives nonprofits the money they need, when they need it while ensuring the long-term financial well-being of the organization. Their revolutionary and effective financial model is explained in clear and understandable terms for decision makers in both large and small nonprofit organizations.

It's Easy!
Money Matters for the Nonprofit Manager
$21.00 - OUT OF PRINT
Published by Port Madison Press
Just saying the words "financial management" to many people in the nonprofit sector evokes a wince. "I'm not a numbers person" is a typical response, followed by "I didn't get into this line of work to focus on financial matters; my interest is in fulfilling our mission." Yet fulfilling the mission is inherently dependent on good fiscal practices. Therefore, it is important that financial reporting and policies be understood by all board and staff members.
