FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE NONPROFIT SECTOR – HOW DO WE GET THERE?
In this interactive session,R. Andrew Swinney, President of The Philadelphia Foundation, will give an executive summary of The Philadelphia Foundation’s white paper series, It Matters… But Is it Working?, on our region’s nonprofit sector. He will give the Foundation’s view on how the sector must be re-positioned, identify areas of operation that need to be changed, and find ways by which to make those changes without lessening the critical role that these organizations and their missions fulfill. Finally, Swinney will look at the fact that, no longer, can the sectors of our community work separately, because “we are all in this together.”
This seminar is open to Development professionals who are encouraged to bring their Executive Directors, CFOs or Board Members. These attendees will be eligible for the member registration rate.
