Summary: Funding decisions can be delayed, costs can rise, and leaders often must make important choices before they have certainty. In this webinar, Omar Visram (Enkel) and Gretchen Ferguson of (Vantage Point) explore practical ways Canadian nonprofit leaders can strengthen cash flow visibility, test financial scenarios and give boards the context they need to make confident decisions. Watch the recording for practical guidance on moving from reactive financial management to a more resilient planning process.
