Event Details
Presenters
Elizabeth Carey, Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Oregon Community Foundation
Megan Schumaker, Senior Program Officer, Oregon Community Foundation
This session is intended to help organizations better understand how foundations analyze the financial statements and key metrics to assess a potential grantee, and will provide an overview of key areas for financial review for the Oregon Community Foundation's grant evaluators and staff of nonprofit financial statements. We will discuss how non-profit financial statements are different that for-profit statements and common red flags in analyzing an organization’s financial health. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions in an interactive and engaging environment.
