Sustainability is a clear concern for funding sources today, and if you cannot document your organization’s sustainability, you are most likely losing out on funding.

AAFCPAs will provide practical guidance and best practice recommendations so nonprofits may preserve their capacity to deliver on their missions in the event of unforeseen financial shortages.
