Money Talks: How to Tell Your Nonprofit's Financial Story
2pm - 3pm (Virtual)
Crafting a financial story requires a shared understanding and interpretation of your organization’s numbers and how this connects to your current and continued mission success. It is often the connection for funder proposals that bridges the impact the organization has with how much it costs. This session will introduce leaders to ways to develop their financial story, which can be used to align stakeholder and organizational priorities, navigate leadership transitions, and convey how your programmatic work and finances fit together to create a comprehensive picture of your nonprofit's impact.
Presented by Alexandra Chan and Haydée Cuza from the Nonprofit Financial Fund

Power in Partnerships
"If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb
It’s a challenging world for nonprofits and the communities we serve. Although the road to recovery from the pandemic has been pitted by roadblocks and slowdowns, we have all learned that by working in partnership, we are more effective at overcoming these barriers and even at building something new and beautiful.
As we navigate the complexities of this time together, Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits invites you to our annual Activate Your Impact Policy Summit, at which we will explore this year’s theme--Power in Partnerships.
Join SVCN--in-person--as we explore how collaboration and alignment in the policy and advocacy context can advance equity, build power, and support growing thriving communities. Designed for nonprofits that want to take their advocacy efforts to the next level, our summit speakers will provide inspiration and practical guidance about how to fearlessly drive policies that advance social justice. As always, the summit will provide tools to help nonprofits further policies that will advance their missions.
