DESCRIPTION
A well-run nonprofit must focus both on accomplishing its mission and managing its finances well. Learn how staff from all parts of the organization can contribute to its long-term sustainability. Running a nonprofit organization is about more than just well-executed programmatic work; it is also about the organizational structures that need to be in place to help maintain financial sustainability. Everyone in a nonprofit, from the executive director to the receptionist, has a role in the financial management of the organization
