1. An Introduction to Debt and Financing for Nonprofits
Many nonprofits successfully use debt as a strategic tool to:
Purchase, build or renovate a facility, or make leasehold improvements
Purchase or upgrade equipment required for operations
Manage timing of receivables from government grants or capital campaigns
Expand programs or grow an earned income or social venture
Temporarily smooth cash flow to meet day-to-day operating needs
This introductory webinar is designed as resource for organizations that are new to the lending process and would like to learn more. In 60 minutes, NFF will review the typical types of loans available to nonprofits, what lenders look for from potential borrowers, and what to expect from a lender.
