HANO offers hands-on budgeting workshop for nonprofits

Sound financial management and planning are crucial for nonprofits to deliver cost-effective services. The presenter, Allen M. Arakaki, CPA, has geared this hands-on workshop, “Budgeting Techniques for Nonprofits: A Hands-on Training,” to the needs of smaller nonprofit organizations that do not have a professional budget analyst.

This seminar is an introduction to budget preparation that will build the financial capacity and literacy of board members, staff and executive directors alike. This workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, June 22, at the Honolulu Community College's Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training, where each participant will be able to use a computer to complete a sample budget using Microsoft Excel.

This is just the second time this workshop has been offered and the first session sold out, so sign up early. Click here for more information or to register.
