It’s Tonia Waterbury - our financial guru.

Funders read your numbers as closely as they read your mission.

Presented by Tonia Papke of the Support Center for Nonprofit Management
This session will focus on:
• Using financials as storytelling tools—not just compliance documents
• Showing funders how resources support mission and outcomes
• Building confidence explaining budgets and statements

Whether you’re a consultant, foundation staffer, executive director, board member, or staff leader, this is your chance to step away from the desk, connect with colleagues, and meet some new faces over good food and drinks.

Just Bea-Cause is back with a fresh twist: a joint venture with Hudson Valley Nonprofit Consultants, hosted at the Good Work Institute in Kingston. It’s an after-work happy hour designed for the people who power our region’s nonprofit sector — casual, collegial, and community-driven.
