Fiscal responsibility is integral to maintaining an organization’s sustainability; however, many nonprofit organizations perform poorly in this area. The questions are “why” and “how can this be changed”?
Research shows that:
1. When compared to program management, financial management is a low priority
2. Nonprofit stakeholders at all levels have gaps in financial competencies
3. High anxiety acts as a barrier to obtaining education and assistance
4. Nonprofit stakeholders critically need training
Recognizing that financial management is the framework upon which a nonprofit’s mission and programs depend, the Detroit Executive Service Corps has the answers to help your organization with its financial management challenges through our Financial Management Solutions for Nonprofit Success (Solutions).
