Beyond Compliance: Unlocking the Power of the Form 990

Join us for an insightful and practical seminar designed specifically for nonprofit executives, board members, and financial managers seeking to deepen their understanding of IRS Form 990. Often viewed as a compliance requirement, Form 990 is much more—it’s a public-facing document that communicates your organization’s mission, transparency, and financial stewardship.
