Past Sessions
From Stagnant to Stable: Strengthening Financial Health in Nonprofits with Jasmine Galloway, Good Stewards Financial Company
Strong financial health is the foundation for mission success. In this session, Jasmine Galloway of Good Steward Financial will introduce the Stagnant to Stable framework, a clear roadmap for strengthening financial health practices and moving organizations from reactivity to stability. Along the way, participants will learn how to foster accountability, build trust through consistent practices, and use finances as a tool for long-term impact. And because financial health isn’t just for “numbers people,” you’ll leave with practical steps and fresh confidence to steward your organization’s resources with excellence — no calculator required.
