Common Good Vermont is pleased to partner with the Montana Nonprofit Association on this session. 

Do you wish that your finances clearly told the same story as your programming? Do you have issues capturing ALL of the costs of your programs to know which ones are truly in the black?

Join us for a deep dive into full cost accounting and learn not just WHAT it is, but HOW to set your systems up for success. This is a tried and true approach, as summarized here in Nonprofit Quarterly.

This workshop will explore how to apply the principles of True Program Costing to your organization’s budget. Learn how to set up your accounting system to show a current representation of programming, revenues, expenses, and total all-in costs for each program, giving yourself a glimpse into true program sustainability.  We will overview the process in detail, from start to finish, giving you all the tools you need to overhaul your financial systems. 

Because we believe that teams learn better together, when you purchase online learning in 2025, your whole team gets access to the course, it’s content, and the recordings. Bring along your best work buddy, your new volunteers, your board chair, or the whole crew!

Learning Outcomes

  • Participants will be able to explain the Full Cost Accounting approach for nonprofits.
