Researching Non-Profits
Workshop Description:
Non-profit does not mean small, innocent, or labor strife free. Data sources and corporate financial filings for non-profits differ substantially from for-profit firms. This workshop will teach you how to find and analyze non-profit financials, board members, and funders and prepare for your fight with the non-profits in your sector, be it health care, philanthropy, or higher education.
