Webinar

Many nonprofit leaders know they need more or better space – but struggle to understand what is financially realistic. This webinar introduces Cap Ex Advisory Group’s Capital Project Calculator, a free, interactive tool designed to help nonprofits visualize how projects are typically financed and what they may be able to afford. Participants will learn why nonprofit capital stacks differ from for-profit development, how debt capacity is shaped by cash flow, and how subsidy often plays a foundational role. Through a live walkthrough, the presenters will demonstrate how adjusting a few key assumptions—budget, debt, fundraising mix, and construction costs—can quickly clarify feasibility. The session is designed to help nonprofit leaders and boards move from “We don’t even know where to start” to “Now we have better questions to ask.” This session will be especially useful for organizations considering whether (and how) to take the next step in a capital project.

Participants will learn how to:

· Understand the basic components of a nonprofit capital stack and how they differ from for-profit projects

· Use the Capital Project Calculator to estimate fundraising needs, debt capacity, and project scale

· Ask better early-stage questions before bringing a capital project to a board or funders

This webinar is ideal for nonprofit executive directors, senior staff, board members, and mission-driven developers who are considering a building, renovation, or major facility investment and want a clearer, lower-risk way to assess feasibility early in the process.
