CAN Calendar


Nonprofit Accounting Boot Camp

These one-day, all-you-need-to-know nonprofit accounting intensives are designed for the many folks who just fell into the accounting role at their nonprofit -- or those who took the role intentionally but still need a brush-up. Boot Camp takes your skills to the next level by helping you master the nuances of accounting and reporting in a nonprofit environment. Public Boot Camps are open to anyone; sponsored Boot Camps are open only to the grantees of sponsoring foundations or corporations. Click here for more information.


Money Matters: Nonprofit Finance Conferences

This one-day conference has grown in popularity since it was introduced in 2002. Plenary sessions typically examine issues related to governance, fraud and accountability. Workshops cover nonprofit-specific finance skills -- as well as topics that often fall to financial staff in small shops: administration, compliance, reporting and human resources.
