Governance Disclosures on the Federal Form 990
GRF Webinar Series: Building a Strong Accounting Foundation for Nonprofits
As 2026 approaches, nonprofit organizations must brace for a volatile financial and operational environment. Rising inflation, increasing competition for grant funding, donor fatigue, shifts in tax policies, and increased scrutiny from funders and regulators pose new challenges. To stay mission-focused while managing through unpredictability, nonprofits need more than passion—they need robust financial foundations grounded in sound accounting principles and operational best practices.
Join GRF for a webinar series addressing the areas nonprofit leaders should revisit to build resilience and maintain fiscal health through turbulent times. You will come away with practical steps to help you and your team stay one step ahead and avoid common pitfalls.
