Ask Me Anything: What Funders Look for in Financial Statements
Presented by Candid
After you submit a grant proposal, you never want to get a question you can’t answer. But often, fundraisers are confronted by grantmakers who ask questions about financial statements, and who expect *you* to know what they are asking. What do you do?
In this Ask Me Anything webinar, experts Ericka Harney and Rachel DeMatteo will review the basics of some common financial statements and give attendees clear guidance on red and green flags that funders look for in these statements. Attendees will leave this session with sound advice and resources that will help them become better versed in the essentials of funder financial analysis.
Attendees will:
- Understand the crucial financial documents examined by funders
- Recognize red and green flags funders look for in financial documents
- Receive next steps for growing their own nonprofit financial literacy
Submit your questions in advance; we will select questions to be answered live. Questions can also be submitted and upvoted by participants during the session.
