Learn nonprofit budgeting techniques, hands on
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.
