Lending to nonprofits can be prosperous – and perilous.
Do you
understand nonprofit accounting and reporting? What financial and nonfinancial
factors impact a nonprofit’s success? This webinar will cover those issues and
more and will focus on lending to educational institutions, municipalities,
churches, and other organizations.
AFTER
THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Differentiate between standard bookkeeping and financial reporting for nonprofit organizations (fund accounting)
- Have informed conversations with key stakeholders of nonprofit organizations and ask pertinent questions in order to fully brief your institution’s decisionmakers about the inherent lending risks
- Identify nonfinancial factors that may pose a risk to the nonprofit’s success
- Understand challenges unique to churches, educational institutions, and other nonprofit organizations
WEBINAR DETAILS
Loans to nonprofits can strengthen bonds with the
community, promote community development, and provide positive exposure to
individuals involved with the nonprofit. Nonprofit lending, however, does not
come without risks. This presentation will highlight the risks and provide
insight into repayment ability through cash flow, liquidity, and leverage. You’ll
learn the differences between nonprofit accounting (fund accounting) and
standard bookkeeping and explore the Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt
from Income Tax.
The discussion will also include topics such as the nonprofit objective (program), leadership, membership, funding sources, use of funding, and other variables specific to different nonprofit organizations. The instructor’s experience as a founding member of a chamber of commerce serving a small community in Michigan, as well as his role in the financial turnaround of an educational foundation, give him a unique perspective on risks associated with nonprofit lending.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session
will be beneficial for credit analysts, commercial loan officers, and others in
senior and executive management with loan approval authority.
