Nonprofit Finance Fund Professional Development Program
The Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) has launched a new initiative to strengthen the nation's leading arts and culture organizations. Through a grant from MetLife Foundation, NFF will provide members of TCG, Dance/USA and the League of American Orchestras with financial guidance, tools, training and support to address the challenges precipitated by the current economic downturn. The services offered will be customized based upon need and will include webinars, teleconferences, workshops and financial newsletters.
