Capital campaigns represent a major investment for nonprofit organizations—and with that investment comes complex financial planning, accounting, and compliance responsibilities. This webinar is designed to help nonprofit leaders and finance professionals navigate the full lifecycle of a capital campaign, from initial planning and construction to final financial reporting.
