Nonprofit Educational Seminar: Endowments Q & A: Ask the CPA
Join us on September 10th for our next Nonprofit Educational Seminar featuring local CPA Keaton Wersen of Wersen Nonprofit CPAs for an interactive Q&A focused entirely on nonprofit endowments. Endowments are one of the most powerful tools available to help nonprofits build long-term financial sustainability, yet they are often misunderstood and can feel intimidating to establish or manage. This session is designed to help demystify endowments by giving you the opportunity to ask the questions you've always wanted answered. To make the most of our time, we are sharing a short Endowments 101 YouTube video in advance and encourage attendees to watch it ahead of the seminar. Please come prepared with your questions as we take a deeper dive into the practical, real-world aspects of nonprofit endowments. |

Registration Policy:
Our Nonprofit Educational Seminars are now offered free of charge. Because seating is limited, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible if you register and are unable to attend. This allows us to offer your spot to another participant. Participants who register but do not attend without providing advance notice may risk being unable to register for future seminars. |
