Public Funding Leadership Training Series

Who is this for? Executive directors, board members acting as staff, and other nonprofit staff in leadership roles who steward public funds.

The Public Funding Leadership Training Series helps to build a practical understanding of the four core areas required for effective public funding stewardship:

• Leadership – Clarifying roles, responsibilities, and oversight related to public funding
• Compliance – Understanding state, federal, and funder requirements and how to navigate them
• Finance – Strengthening financial systems, internal controls, and documentation
• Risk – Identifying, assessing, and managing organizational and financial risk

By the end of the series, you will be able to:

• Identify your leadership responsibilities related to public funding oversight
• Navigate key state, federal, and funder compliance requirements
• Strengthen financial and documentation systems that support accountability
• Recognize and proactively manage financial, operational, and organizational risk
• Engage your board and staff in shared, mission-aligned stewardship of public funds

The four-part series may fulfill the WSDA training requirement in lieu of an audit.
