Effectively Telling Your Story to the World

Workshop Details:

To engage our community, nonprofits needs to develop persuasive messages that combine the issue at the heart of your mission, why your audience should care about that issue, how your organization addresses that issue, and how your organization can support that work. 

Organizations are “selling” impact, not activity, so we’ll think through activity, inputs and outcomes to measure your organization’s impact.  We will work on your persuasive message using the S.E.M.Y. model (story, evidence, mission, and you – the donor) and get tips on how to communicate that message across different platforms.  

Objectives:

  • Communicate your organization’s impact to effectively engage stakeholders
  • Effectively telling your story for maximum impact
  • Learn the S.E.M.Y. model

Reading Financial Statements

March 20, 2019 — 9:00 - Noon

Presented by Timothy J. Gavin, CPA, Senior Audit Manager, John Kasperek, Co., Inc.

 

 

Description

Financial statements can be confusing and hard to read, and yet they provide some of the most valuable

information in assessing the financial health of an organization. With so much information that is

presented, it can be hard to separate what matters to you from what doesn’t. This session will

demonstrate how to interpret the numbers and notes in a standard financial report and show how to best use the information to understand an organization. Whether you’re a manager, board member, or other stakeholder, making sense of a financial report is key in making informed decisions.

 

Objectives:

·         Understand the basics of financial report structure.

·         Read and interpret the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.

·         Analyze the note disclosure.

·         Identify the information most important in analysis and decision-making.
