PAD6208
Nonprofit Financial Management
Graduate
3 Credits |
While nonprofit organizations are non-profit distributing, the ability to yield a profit is important for survival and
sustainability. Still, many nonprofit leaders either do not understand accounting basics or prefer to leave the
finances to others who are use to working with numbers. This course will introduce students to the basics of
financial management for nonprofit organizations in the United States. These basics start with an introduction to
financial accountability and sustainability and then move into the different revenue streams available to nonprofits.
It also reviews basic accounting principles and financial evaluations. While this course covers much information in
regard to the financial resource management for nonprofits, it is not an advanced finance course. That said, the goal
of the course is to provide students with the needed information to be able to manage and monitor a nonprofit’s
finances, not prepare students to become a nonprofit accountant. As a whole, the course is far more conceptual than
computational. Still, students should complete the course with an understanding of how to analyze a nonprofit’s
finances with a critical eye and loose any fear of numbers that they may have. |
