5 Secrets Your Financials Reveal About Your Organization

One of the first items a potential new funder, major donor or banker will ask for are your financial statements. What are they seeing in your financials that goes into an evaluation of their consideration of your organization? What are your current funders looking for in your annual financials? Issues surrounding cash flow management, diversity of funding, net assets balances and the ability to operate are among the critical matters they’ll be using to evaluate your organization.

Joyce Miller, CPA, whose accounting and consulting practice serves all types of 501(c)(3) organizations, will begin with a basic review of the components of financial statements and what they mean to help you explore how your operations and policy decisions affect the view of your financial health.

Building a Framework for Advanced Evaluation and Outcome Measurement of Your Organization: A Three-Part Immersion

The pressure to demonstrate your organization’s effectiveness and document your program outcomes continues to grow and often presents a daunting challenge. Foundations, government entities, and other funders expect evaluation and performance measurement data, even as most nonprofit organizations struggle to achieve the capacity to implement meaningful evaluation and outcomes measurement.

This Power Class, presented in three progressive l/2 day sessions, will walk you through the steps that will result in each participant having honed a clear and specific evaluation map for at least one program, as well as an enhanced ability to formulate and guide additional evaluations.

 
Session I:2/15/2012
Participants will work through a time-tested, six-step model for developing a comprehensive evaluation plan. Numerous examples from real evaluations as well as an authentic case study will punctuate each of the 6 steps. Logic modeling will also be reviewed and several variations shared.  During the two weeks before the next session, participants will sharpen their logic models and draft a brief evaluation plan following the 6 step model, including such tools and techniques such as developing measurable outcomes, evaluation designs and data collection methods. 
 
Session II: 2/29/2012
This session features sharing and refining of logic models and evaluation plans with participants raising and resolving questions and challenges. A collaborative peer environment will encourage discussion on topics raised by participants such as designing survey items, evaluation costs and the role of consultants. 
 
Session III:3/14/2012
The discussion of individual projects will continue, and several selected interventions/techniques will also be addressed, in particular focus groups, cost-benefit analysis and sensitivity tables.
 
With a focus on leadership knowledge and skills essential to guiding evaluation design and managing implementation, rather than instruction in statistics and computers, participants will gain a new ability and confidence that ensures that your organization’s evaluation and outcome measurement processes accurately reflect your organization’s achievements. You will leave with a comprehensive evaluation plan for at least one program and tools for applying it to others.
