Ask Better, Lead Better: Illuminating Financial Insights

Date: August 19, 2026, at 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET

Every nonprofit leader makes financial decisions, but not every leader feels confident knowing what to ask, how to interpret the answers, or how to turn financial information into action. In this webinar, we’ll explore how better questions can become a practical communication tool for strengthening financial conversations, surfacing key insights, and building trust between finance and non-finance leaders. Participants will learn how to ask more intentional financial questions, recognize what strong answers should include, and communicate financial insights in ways that lead to more informed decisions, stronger collaboration, and greater alignment between resources, strategy, and mission.

Who Should Attend: Nonprofit executives, board members, finance professionals, and program leaders who use financial information to guide decisions, strategy, and organizational sustainability.

Learning Objectives:   

1. Identify key financial questions nonprofit leaders and finance teams should ask to support mission-aligned decision-making.
2. Apply questioning techniques that improve collaboration between finance and operational leaders and lead to more informed management decisions.

Participants will earn 1.0 CPE credit in Management Services.

To receive credit, attendees must respond to three out of the four poll questions asked during the program. Once registered, you will automatically receive access to the webcast recording, slide deck, and, if you qualified for CPE, have the ability to download your certificate.
