Learning to Love (or at least live with) Restricted Revenue

When finance, fundraising, and strategy are aligned, we can craft the best possible grant proposals and budgets. Who knew that grant restrictions are often of our own making? Who would have guessed that accounting standard changes could be the source of cutting-edge strategies for fundraising? This session explores how the latest changes in accounting standards for revenue recognition can be used to develop more effective grant proposal narratives and budgets. Whether you are a CEO, development professional, CFO, board member, or accountant, this presentation will provide you with an understanding of new standards on revenue recognition and restricted revenue. Then we’ll look at examples of how to use those concepts to develop grant proposals that bring in the most flexible funding possible.

Learning Outcomes

You will leave ready to:

  • Identify new FASB Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) concerning revenue recognition and grants, and contributions
  • Recognize the new standards as they relate to grant proposal and budget design
  • Determine where and how to apply the new standards when crafting grant proposals and budgets
  • Describe strategies and approaches to developing proposals and budgets that attract the most flexible funding possible
“I already know I’ll be thinking more strategically from what I did hear.”
Online Participant

Intended Audience

Successful fundraising and proposal writing involves the whole organization — CEO, development staff, CFO, board member, accountant, program manager.
