Decoding Form 990: What Donors Need to Know

Join us for a donor lunch and educational discussion on how to use Form 990 to better understand a nonprofit organization's financial health, governance, and accountability. While Form 990 is one of the most widely available sources of nonprofit financial information, it does not tell the whole story. This session will help donors interpret key sections of the form, assess organizational stewardship, and understand its limitations as a tool for evaluating impact.

Participants will learn:
• The purpose of Form 990 and what it reveals about a nonprofit's finances and operations
• How to evaluate governance, accountability, and resource allocation using Form 990
• The limitations of Form 990 and questions donors can ask to gain a more complete picture of an organization's work

Lunch will be served.
