Service Highlight: Not-for-Profits As the competition for grants, donations and other funding sources increases, and with the changes in the availability of the number of funding agencies and donors, it is more important than ever for a Not-for-Profit (“NFP”) organization to have accurate and timely reporting of its financial information, including the allocation of its expenses between program expenses and supporting services expenses. Having fiscal oversight and stability within the organization can generate a feeling of confidence among all stakeholders, enabling the organization to better achieve its mission and goals, and to report to its stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Our NFP team provides professional services to a variety of organizations while performing annual audits of financial statements, or audits of other specialized reports, annual financial statement reviews, and preparation of annual information return filings for tax-exempt organizations; when applicable. We consult with our clients regularly while providing our professional services throughout the year by assisting them with identifying internal control issues, identifying accounting issues such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, accounting for donor restricted or conditional contributions, reviewing the allocation of functional expenses and identifying potential unrelated business income. We work closely with the Boards of Directors, audit committees, finance committees and the organization’s management for them to maintain good governance and oversight. Have you: -       Received any additional grants or new contributions? -       Received Federal funding and is there a need for a Single Audit? -       Filed specialized reports with funding agencies? -       Developed additional NFP policies or a procedure manual (ex: conflict of interest, investment policy, record retention and destruction, gift acceptance, etc.)? -       Given your Board of Directors not receiving timely, or accurate, reports for their regular meetings? -       Considered a possible merger? -       Gained a new source of revenue that may be considered unrelated business income? Experts Richard Wiktorowski, and Mikhael Rubin, CPA are here to answer your questions and provide assistance.

#AbilityToBenefit (ATB) is a critical but underutilized strategy for ensuring equitable access to #PostsecondaryEducation and—by extension—economic stability. Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color are disproportionately impacted by this disparity, making ATB a critical lever for #RacialEquity as well. Through the Advancing ATB for Equitable Access to Opportunity project, World Education’s National College Transition Network supported California, North Carolina, and Texas in creating and implementing intentional ATB strategies as part of their work with the Racial Equity for Adult Credentials in Higher Education (REACH) Collaborative. The REACH Collaborative is focused on transforming credential pathways to associate degrees at community colleges to improve credential attainment and economic mobility for adult learners of color. Through the intentional usage of ATB, states and community colleges can advance REACH’s goal of closing equity gaps by increasing systemic access to postsecondary education and better job opportunities for Black, Latino, and Native American adults. Read our case studies to learn how each of the three states strengthened ATB usage: ◾ California (led by the Career Ladders Project): https://lnkd.in/g9R392Ba ◾ North Carolina (led by the North Carolina Community College System): https://lnkd.in/gQnhxFv2 ◾ Texas (led by the Texas Success Center): https://lnkd.in/gTjksMdp

  We need your help in getting the Ford Government’s attention on an important advocacy issue.   Earlier this year, we submitted our recommendations for updating the Municipal Elections Act (MEA) ahead of the 2026 municipal and school board elections. We recommended to the ministry that updates should be made by Spring 2025 at the latest. As members and senior municipal leaders, your voices are key in conveying to Minister Calandra and the Government that: - Making recommended changes to the MEA would strengthen local democracy; - Reducing administrative burdens would allow municipal staff to be more efficient and effective at delivering local elections; and - An amended MEA would provide much-needed time to effectively manage other tasks that support planning and development processes, municipal governance, and service innovation in support of provincial priorities. Learn more by reading our full submission and downloading our template letter and council resolution within our MEA toolkit: https://lnkd.in/gjNicq6p Let's work together to make this happen! #MEAModernization #OnMuni #LocalGov #AMCTOIssueProfile

Acknowledging the time, expertise, and lived experiences of community members is essential to building trust and creating meaningful collaboration. Compensation ensures that everyone, regardless of financial situation, can participate fully and equitably in shaping policies, programs, and initiatives. Compensating participants is about more than fairness—it’s about valuing their contributions and taking actionable steps toward equity. By doing so, we honor the communities we work with and work to close gaps in representation and access. How does your organization prioritize equity in its practices? #EquityInAction #CompensateFairly #Inclusion #LighthouseGlobal #CommunityEngagement
