CCPA SEMINAR: (Binghamton) Building a Sustainable Nonprofit Organization

Binghamton University’s College of Community & Public Affairs

67 Washington Street, Binghamton

Building a Sustainable Nonprofit Organization – David Campbell, PhD

Thursday, December 12, 2013 – 9:00am - 12:00 pm                      

                                   

How confident are you in your organization's long-term sustainability?  What steps can you take today to make sure your organization can advance its mission long into the future?  The goal of this workshop is to introduce you to a model of nonprofit sustainability planning that you can use in your organization.  The model is based on the book Nonprofit Sustainability: Making Strategic Decisions for Financial Viability. The model defines sustainability as a combination of both the impact of an organization's activities ("business lines") and the financial performance of each of those activities. The model enables users to develop a simple "matrix map" that displays the financial and program performance of an organization's activities.  The map provides the basis for sustainability planning.  The workshop will provide hands-on opportunities for participants to apply aspects of the model to their organizations (such as the identification of business lines and impact criteria). The workshop is $65/person and includes morning refreshments. To register go to:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CCPASeminarsF2013. Contact Joann Lindstrom at 777-9178 with questions.
