Nonprofit is our tax status, not our financial model. Yet finances continue to be a challenge for many nonprofits, not only in having enough money to achieve our lofty missions, but also in managing the complexities of fund accounting, which is unique to nonprofits and government agencies. JRP finance volunteer Perry Wilder recently completed as assessment of the finance office for the Pasadena Museum of California Art (http://pmcaonline.org/), simplifying their budgeting and reporting, establishing clear financial priorities and helping improve communication between staff and Board. PMCA has beautiful exhibits and with better financial infrastructure, can continue providing a venue for lovely art for years to come!
Jericho Road Pasadena connects skilled volunteers with nonprofits that offer critical services to under-served residents in their communities. Meeting this need allows nonprofit staff to focus on stronger delivery of services, thereby building better communities.
