Back by Popular Demand Budgeting For Nonprofits!! Ed McMillan?s Spring workshops were such a hit and the subject matter in such high demand that we?re bringing him back in the fall! This time, the focus is budgeting & financial management. The program is broken into two sessions – 101 for the beginner: If you have had little or no financial training and are responsible for preparing and monitoring a budget for your nonprofit, then you don’t want to miss this seminar; and a 201 for the more advanced (half day): If you want to learn more about how you can better understand the operating rules and regulations as well as budget, you can benefit from these sessions! Presented by Ed McMillan, CPA, CAE.
Fraud Prevention (Half Day) – It?s unfortunate, but the reality is that you only think your employees are honest! This fascinating and practical workshop will walk the participants through actual fraud scenarios, discuss how the frauds occurred, and what internal controls would have prevented them. Additionally, participants will be provided a valuable handout to assess the thoroughness of their existing controls. Topics will include: profiles of embezzlers and warning signs; internal control tips and MORE! Presented: Ed McMillan, CPA, CAE.
The Making of a Great Nonprofit Manager (Full Day)

Mike will engage in a dialogue with the attendees to provide tips in the nine chapters topics: Effective Boards of Directors; Successful Community Fundraising; Writing Grants and Getting Them Funded; Managing Grants Once You Get Them; Developing a Strategic Plan; Being an Effective Supervisor, and more!
Grant Writing 101 & 201 (Each a half day session)
Grant seeking has never been more competitive than today. With information on grant opportunities so broadly available, most grant making foundations and agencies receive hundreds more worthy grant proposals for each funding cycle than they could ever fund. Learn to pre-judge your grant proposals by thinking like a grant maker. Give your proposals the competitive edge of a serious grant seeker. If you?re ready to get serious about grant writing, invest a day honing your skills with proven techniques for generating support. Offered in a 101/201 format, you can attend the session of your choice or attend both sessions as a full day. 101 is for those new to grant writing or those struggling to compose a truly compelling case for support for your mission, this session will provide a comprehensive overview of the grant seeking process. For experienced grant writers looking for that competitive edge that will place you ?above the cut? in the grant seeking process, the afternoon session will help you see your proposals through the eyes and hopes of the grant maker, and de-mystify the components of a fully-developed proposal. Presented by Linda Procopio and Eric Davis.
