NOT2127. How to Tell Your Financial Story

Storytelling isn't just for the communications department. Your organization's financial story can be told through a wide range of financial reports and information, from budgets in grant proposals to disclosures in your 990. In this session, we will discuss different opportunities to take control of your organization's financial story. We will also learn about how best to communicate your financial story to non-accountants, and how to involve your board and staff in financial storytelling.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn opportunities to display organizational stories within financial statements, including 2016-14 impacts, and the IRS Form 990
• Discuss how the organization's website, as well as other websites, can lead to financial transparency
• Identify ways to involve non-financial staff in financial storytelling
