Managing Cash Flow for Nonprofits

Managing Cash Flow for Nonprofits

Even the most accurate budget or financial statement can’t always answer one of the most pressing questions for nonprofits: Do we have enough cash to cover what’s coming next? Whether it’s an unexpected expense, a new opportunity, or next month’s payroll, understanding and managing cash flow is essential to keeping your organization healthy and resilient.

In this practical, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to anticipate and prepare for the natural ups and downs of cash moving in and out of your nonprofit. We’ll explore how different types of income and expenses affect your cash position and how to use cash flow projections as a planning and communication tool.

By the end of this session, you will:

• Understand what a cash flow projection is and why it matters.
• Know what information you need to create one effectively.
• Learn how to identify and manage cash flow challenges and opportunities.
• Discover ways to communicate cash flow insights with your team and stakeholders.
• Leave with a key tool to help you forecast and prepare for upcoming expenses.
