Where did all the money go?

As the Finance Guy I've been asked questions similar to this through the years. Often it comes from a board member or someone who is not too familiar with how nonprofits operate, or maybe just how organizations operate in general, and thinks that I, as my role of Finance Guy, have some ability to make money appear instead of just controlling the spending of it. I'm the first to admit that my strong suit is not fundrasing. I can put together a cash flow report and tell you how fast you will be spending your income but as far as generating contributions? Not so much.

Our sector has other professionals for that and resources out there to them get those donations. One I've read and like is The Raiser's Razor. Written by a CFRE in Dallas, Texas and covers both national and local issues. From the United Way of Dallas to how to ensure a second gift, click through and learn about what goes on in that part of the nonprofit world.
