Not-for-profit certificate II: Managing strategy and risk

Navigating complex operating environments is becoming the norm for many Canadian not-for-profit organizations. That’s why these organizations need leaders who have a solid understanding of the specific goals, opportunities and risks the NFP sector is facing, now and in the future.

In this new five-course program, you will develop deeper skills in strategy and risk to manage operational issues that are unique to NFP enterprises. Learn how to link mission to growth, align budgets with goals, identify potential risk factors and invest in the long-term financial sustainability of your organization.

Courses include:

• Strategy Planning and Management
• Budgeting and Cash Flow Projections
• Management of Risk
• Critical-risk-areas
• Assessing Financial Health

Our flexible online format allows you to study on-demand and build practical know-how through ongoing assessments and interactive case studies. Each of these courses can be taken individually, but you must complete all five to earn the certificate.

Note: This program is designed for professionals who have a solid understanding of the basics in finance, management and governance for the NFP sector. We recommend that you complete Not-For-Profit Certificate I: Foundational Concepts first or have an equivalent amount of experience prior to registration.
