This introductory course surveys the financial management practices and problems of nonprofit organizations, with particular emphasis on schools and colleges, government agencies, and museums. Specific topics include strategic planning, leadership, fund accounting, program budgeting, and financial analysis. The course aims at making students better managers and consumers of financial information rather than budget officers or accountants. The course has no prerequisites, and students who dislike "number crunching" are especially welcomed.
