Foundation boards and leaders work hard to change the world for the better. Forward-thinking foundations want to ensure that their program officers’ expertise is complemented with nonprofit finance knowledge and that their grantees are sustainable with strong infrastructures that support their programs. Developing well-rounded, knowledgeable program officers and strong grantee organizations are goals every foundation supports. Understanding how to actualize these goals is core to FMA’s mission. Here’s a few ways the FMA team works with foundations and their grantees: Foundations
- Implementing grantmaking decision protocols that integrate financial and program data
- Building program officer financial management knowledge and skill
- Establishing systems to analyze portfolio performance
