Fun With Financials

Fun with Financials teaches nonprofit organizations practices that support informed financial decisions. We also work with foundations to align philanthropic processes to support a culture shift toward financial health. We make nonprofit finance engaging while holding a larger vision of change. Fun with Financials seeks to transform the culture of competition for resources into one of cooperation and solidarity. We do this by creating a shared language and understanding of financial health. Our work encourages honest, direct conversations about money that build trust. And we have a good time doing it. Fun with Financials aims to build a financially strong and, therefore, politically independent social justice movement. We replace fears associated with money with knowledge, and with strategies to sustain movements that can achieve our shared vision of a just and equitable society. Fun with Financials was founded in 2004. The Fun with Financials Approach: We believe that anyone can learn to understand and manage nonprofit finances. We promote knowledge-sharing throughout nonprofit organizations. We appreciate the valuable contributions to our movements made by administrative and finance staff. We surface the knowledge and resources that already exist in organizations while providing a framework to understand financial health. We listen with full attention and compassion. We try new things and learn from the experience. We give and solicit direct and honest feedback. We provide options not judgments. We make financials fun!
