After a week of vacation and several days catching up on work from said vacation, I have a nice list of things nonprofit financial folks might want to look at. I’d also like to welcome all the new readers that came to this website while I was gone. I hope you find this space useful and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
For nonprofit employees and the organizations who employ them
Anybody looking for a finance person for your nonprofit? Or are you the fiance person at your nonprofit and looking for some guidance? Bridgestar has a nice section on Chief Financial Officers and their roles in nonprofit organizations. Worth a look, and you can also search for jobs there.
You may be underwithholding on your paychecks. Read this piece to find out if the “Making Work Pay” tax credit might actually cost you some next April 15.
Is your nonprofit stretched for dollars, but you still want to reward your employees? These ideas might help you out. Have other ideas? Please post them in the comments section below.
Will serving on a nonprofit board of directors help you as a nonprofit professional? Rosetta Thurman thinks so and I agree.
2008 Value of Volunteer Time
Independent Sector has announced the updated value of volunteer time, another increase of 74¢ to $20.25.
Nonprofit Decision Making
Kate Barr, Executive Director of the Nonprofit Assistance Fund, has a great article in the Nonprofit Quarterly, “Improving Nonprofit Decision Making amid Economic Crisis.” I call it a must read for anyone working in this sector today.
What to Tell the Donor
Or not tell them. This tax tip from the IRS offers good initial guidance on what nonprofits are supposed to provide to donors and how to complain about a nonprofit.
