What You Need to Know About Nonprofit Financial Management

bnm-maureen-miller

What should I be keeping an eye on when it comes to financial management for nonprofits?

The answer is two-fold.

1) It depends on your funding streams

Some questions to ask include, but are not limited to:

  • Is the funding from a donor, a grant, or something else?
  • What has the funding source stated are the grant requirements?
  • How has the funder stated to allocate the funds?
  • What are the reporting requirements, etc.?

It is critical to keep an eye on the funder agreement/contract and set up systems once the fund is awarded so you are tracking necessary components from the beginning of the award.

2) Areas that all nonprofits should consider include, but are not limited to:

  • Providing regular reports for various stakeholders, including the main 3 monthly financial reports: Statement of Activity, Statement of Financial Position, and Cash Flow Statement.
  • Providing leadership and Program Managers with monthly budget to actual to assess if the budgets are on track or if there are significant variances that should be addressed.
  • Whether or not the organization has an operating reserve.
  • Having a budget process and timeline.
  • Setting up organized, efficient electronic filing systems.
