Empowering nonprofit financial leaders
Workshops
Nonprofits Assistance Fund is pleased to partner with the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits to present our financial management workshops. This collaboration helps us fulfill our mission of building financially healthy nonprofits by allowing us to provide training to more organizations in the Twin Cities metro and in Greater Minnesota. It also gives us additional capacity to develop new trainings and resources to meet changing needs and address emerging issues.
These practical and affordable workshops cover a wide range of topics and are designed by our staff specifically for the nonprofit community. Our trainers will walk you through the material in everyday English, using real world examples, to help you develop the necessary skills to manage your nonprofit’s finances.
In 2009 alone we trained over 3,000 nonprofit leaders. Find workshop or webinar that meets your needs.
