Nonprofit capacity building

---

One of the most effective value-adds that comes with your United Way investment is the work we do to strengthen area nonprofit organizations so that they can more effectively focus on mission. 

Financial management 

Many nonprofits struggle to keep up with incresingly complex financial management requirements every year.  Small organizations and all-volunteer run organizations have a particularly difficult time building internal capacity to obtain the needed skills and knowledge.  In wake of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, fewer and fewer CPAs will conduct nonprofit audits.  For those CPAs who still will perform nonprofit audits, the cost is prohibitive for many nonprofits in the area, as is the cost of outsourcing accounting functions or attending training outside of the region.

United Way of Southeastern Idaho believes that one of the best investments of funds is to build nonprofits' ability to steward the monies entrusted to them.  Please watch this area for additional information on capacity building that United Way undertakes.
