Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and teach us about non-profit financials! We certainly had no idea how complex the flow of money within not-for-profits was going into it, but you broke it all down in a very clear, easy to understand, and foundation-specific way that gave us an incredible appreciation for the role finances play in our organization’s health and functioning. Your presentation provided a solid introduction and primer to a topic we will continue learning about in the months – and hopefully years – to come. Thank you so much!
