Learn nonprofit budgeting techniques on Molokai
Sound financial management and planning are crucial to a nonprofit’s ability to deliver cost-effective services. “Budgeting Techniques for Nonprofits: A Hands-On Training,” supported by a generous grant from Bank of Hawaii, introduces you to the nonprofit budgeting process and preparation.
This half-day Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations workshop will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at the Molokai Education Center, UH-Maui Community College, 375 Kamehameha V Highway in Kaunakakai.
