SUMMARY:Budget Like You Mean It: Nonprofit Financial Management for Real Life
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is being hosted by GrantStation. \nSeptember 14th\, 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM \nRegistration Fees: $39/$99 \nREGISTER\n\n\nYour budget isn’t broken because you’re bad at numbers. It’s broken because it was probably built in December\, approved in January\, and quietly ignored until funders ask to review it. For most small nonprofits\, the annual budget is a compliance ritual\, not a management tool and that gap between what’s on paper and what’s actually happening in your finances is where real problems take root. \nDuring this TargetED\, Alice Ruhnke will give you a framework for turning your budget into something you actually use. You’ll leave with the confidence to make mid-year decisions based on real data rather than gut instinct or wishful thinking. \nYou’ll learn how to:\n\nrecognize the most common budgeting patterns that leave nonprofits financially vulnerable;\nread the financial statements that matter most\, including your statement of activities\, statement of financial position;\nbuild a budget that reflects reality\, with honest overhead allocation\, appropriate contingency\, and a clear distinction between your board budget and your working management tool;\nrun a monthly budget vs. actuals review to catch variances early and *identify which line items need the closest attention; and\,\nconnect your financial position to your fundraising strategy.\n\nWho should attend:\nThis session is designed for executive directors\, finance leads\, and development staff at small to mid-sized nonprofits who want to use their financial data as a management tool rather than a reporting requirement. \nAfter the webinar\, you’ll receive:\n\nslides and handouts; and\,\na link to the webinar recording\n\n\n\n\nWebinar CFRE\n\nFull participation in this webinar is applicable for 1 point in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. \n\n\n\nDate\nMonday\, September 14\, 2026 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n45 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268\n\n\nWebinar Policies\n\n  \nCan’t attend live and still want to watch the webinar?\nWant to review the materials after the session?\nYou will receive an email with the full recording and any handouts within 10 business days after the webinar. \nAfter you register\, you will receive the following emails: \n\nA sales receipt for your bookkeeping records\nA confirmation email from Zoom with the login credentials\nInstructions for other attendees if you registered a group\n\nIf you do not receive these emails within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\nAlice Ruhnke\n\n\nAlice Ruhnke is the President of GrantStation. Having raised over $45 million from federal\, state\, and private grantmakers\, she knows what it takes to get funded.

SUMMARY:Apply or Pass? What Federal Grant Compliance Really Requires
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is being hosted by GrantStation. \nSeptember 15th\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM \nRegistration Fees: $69/$159 \nREGISTER\n\n\nFederal grants are exciting\, until the reality of managing the money hits. Most organizations pursue federal funding focused on the mission match and the dollar amount\, with almost no visibility into what compliance will actually cost them in staff time\, internal systems\, and risk. By the time they find out\, they’ve often already accepted the award. \nIn this webinar\, Sonia Thomas will give you the full compliance picture before you commit. You’ll get a plain-language walkthrough of the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) and the areas it touches including financial management\, allowable costs\, subrecipient monitoring\, time and effort reporting\, and more\, so you can evaluate a federal opportunity with open eyes instead of finding out the hard way.\nYou’ll leave this session no longer afraid of the words “federal compliance.” Instead of avoiding federal grants out of anxiety\, or accepting them out of excitement without the full picture\, you’ll have a clear framework for deciding what’s right for your organization. \nYou’ll learn how to:\n\nunderstand the core compliance framework governing federal awards (Uniform Guidance / 2 CFR Part 200) in plain language;\nidentify the specific areas federal compliance touches\, including financial management\, allowable costs\, subrecipient monitoring\, time and effort reporting\, and record retention;\nassess your organization’s current compliance readiness before you apply;\nbuild the internal infrastructure\, staffing\, systems\, and policies\, needed to administer federal funding successfully; and\nask the right questions before pursuing any federal opportunity so you can make a genuinely informed decision on whether to apply or pass.\n\nWho should attend:\nThis webinar is designed for executive directors\, deputy directors\, finance managers\, program directors\, grant staff\, and administrative personnel at nonprofits and community-based organizations who want to pursue federal funding strategically\, without putting their organization at risk. It’s especially valuable if your organization is considering federal funding for the first time\, or has accepted federal awards before without a clear sense of what compliance actually requires. \nAfter the webinar\, you’ll receive:\n\nslides and handouts; and\,\na link to the webinar recording.\n\n\n\n\nWebinar CFRE\n\nFull participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. \n\n\n\nDate\nTuesday\, September 15\, 2026 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268\n\n\nWebinar Policies\n\n  \nCan’t attend live and still want to watch the webinar?\nWant to review the materials after the session?\nYou will receive an email with the full recording and any handouts within 10 business days after the webinar. \nAfter you register\, you will receive the following emails: \n\nA sales receipt for your bookkeeping records\nA confirmation email from Zoom with the login credentials\nInstructions for other attendees if you registered a group\n\nIf you do not receive these emails within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\nSonia Thomas\n\n\nSonia M. Thomas is a federal grants management and compliance expert with more than 18 years of experience\nsupporting federally funded programs across multiple U.S. government agencies.
