Program Details:
NFF will provide a series of workshops on financial awareness, strategic financial tools, and the links between money and mission for leaders from small and midsize nonprofits. Two workshops per year will be available in each region (Central Coast and San Joaquin Valley). Up to four nonprofit organizations will be competitively chosen from the workshop participants to receive customized and in-depth financial technical assistance.

Selection process:
Workshops attendance will be on a first come-first served basis, and organizations that will receive in-depth technical assistance will be selected from workshop attendees on a competitive basis. NFF will be creating an advisory board to publicize the availability of the workshops. Half of the workshops will be aimed at small or young organizations (generally with budgets under $250,000) and half at more experienced organizations whose budgets exceed $250,000.

Target Launch Date: Early spring 2010
