TRANSFORMING RESOURCES

Ola Saad, Friends In Deed

Nonprofits that have a clear picture of where the money is, where it’s going and where it’s needed are better able to focus on what matters most.

NEW works alongside organizations to build financial resilience, whether that means support for starting up, guidance through a tough transition or a smarter way to manage donations and payroll.

We had a few phases to go through before becoming a full-time store, and NEW was awesome in getting us to that place. Relying on their bookkeeping lets us focus our volunteer time on what we know: marketing, promotion and getting more farmers to sell in our store.

Finance work can be lonely—but it doesn’t have to be. This is your chance to step out from behind the spreadsheets, sip something warm, and connect with folks who get it.

Bean Counters connect is a free, monthly gathering open to anyone working in non-profit finance. We meet monthly on the 2nd Tuesday at NEW Center and other locations in Washtenaw and Wayne county. We’ll chat, share wins and challenges, and start building a network of support across organizations. Come as you are—your brilliance is welcome here!
