Financial Management Training

The South Carolina Arts Alliance is proud to partner with BDO Nonprofit and Grantmaker Advisory, with support from the South Carolina Arts Commission and Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation to offer a series of financial management trainings to help strengthen the operations of arts organizations throughout South Carolina.

Workshops are offered free of charge, but Arts grantees of either the SCAC or the GDDF will be granted priority registration. Details about each workshop are below.

Trainings are designed for anyone who is new to nonprofit financial management or anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge. Arts leaders, bookkeepers, or anyone involved in the financial matters of your organization are encouraged to register, but please only one individual per organization.

Includes one full day of training with an optional one-on-one coaching session. These 1-hour coaching sessions have limited availability, and will fill on a first come, first served basis. There are both in-person and virtual coaching sessions available.

Breakfast and lunch will be included on the workshop day.

Scenario and Contingency Planning

Location: Public Works Arts Center
135 W Richardson Ave
Summerville, SC 29483

April 16 – 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM – Workshop (Breakfast and Lunch Provided)
April 17 – Optional Coaching Sessions (only 5 slots, 1 hour available)

While nonprofit organizations cannot predict the future, they can anticipate how they would adjust to a variety of major and minor shifts in their original strategic plans and budgets so that they are equipped to make difficult, complex decisions as financial or human capital crises arise. Building potential scenarios and back up plans can give leaders, their staff, boards, and funders theconfidence they need to press on and continue to deliver on programs.

Key concepts include:

• Guiding principles for successful scenario planning processes
• Identifying critical questions and decision points for your organization
• Undertaking a risk landscape analysis
• Introduction to tools to facilitate the scenario planning process

Participants will be provided with tools and templates to help assist in their planning efforts.

Thank you to our Funding Partners!
