Certificate in Nonprofit Finance
Recent regulatory and accountability legislation requires nonprofits to pay more attention to their financial record keeping. Further, increased interest in unique financial structures and leveraging assets means nonprofit financing strategies have become more complicated. The certificate in nonprofit finance provides you with a broad background in accounting and finance techniques and analysis, and the skills required for effective financial management.
The certificate may be completed entirely online, entirely face-to-face, or a combination of both formats.
