Service-Learning Pilot Program: What can you learn from a nonprofit’s 990?

In response to member feedback, PEAK is partnering with our friends at BDO to pilot a service-learning opportunity focused on analyzing nonprofit financials. We know that foundations often decline grant applications due to concerns with the nonprofit’s financials—and that those concerns are usually not discussed with applicants. Through this pilot program, BDO will train 20 PEAK members to review and analyze the information found in IRS filings and to hold open, respectful, and culturally appropriate conversations with nonprofits. Participants will then be matched with Baltimore-based nonprofits that want to understand what foundations see when they review financial documents. Join PEAK and BDO for an informational session to learn more.
