Financial Resilience Essentials in Uncertain Times (Part 2)
In the first of a two-part webinar series, we are joined by Hilda Polanco of BDO’s Nonprofit & Grantmaker Advisory, a team dedicated to helping nonprofits and foundations strengthen their financial and operational health.
Hilda leads a conversation focused on how to best support nonprofit financial resilience — especially during periods of funding and operational uncertainty.
During this webinar, Hilda explores how to think about:
Understanding your organization’s financial position
Building and maintaining operating reserves
Assessing the risk landscape
Scenario planning
