Building a Cash Flow Forecast that Drives Real Impact

52% of nonprofits have three months or less of cash on hand, according to the Nonprofit Finance Fund. Most leaders know forecasting could help—but few are doing it consistently.
That gap creates risk. It also creates an opportunity.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to turn your existing budget into a working cash forecast you’ll actually use. We’ll walk through the four truths that reshape how nonprofit leaders approach forecasting, show you the difference between a static budget and a decision-making tool, and guide you through a simple five-step process to get started.

You’ll see a real cash flow forecast in action, learn the four numbers that matter most, and walk away with a practical monthly routine you can put into practice right away.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the difference between a budget and a forecast and explain how each supports financial decision-making

• Apply a five-step process for building a forecast that incorporates actuals, updated assumptions, and cash flow timing

• Establish a monthly forecasting routine that surfaces cash flow risks early and informs board-level conversations
