As we continue to expand upon the heads of finance of non-profit organizations being highlighted on CFOradio, we are pleased to have an organization whose focus is one which is not easy to discuss, that of domestic violence. These organizations often cannot promote themselves because of the security risks for the people they serve. Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) serves over 18,000 women and children every year and their mission is to end the crime of intimate partner violence and empower its survivors. While 1 in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence in their lifetime, it is a much-needed service to support these women, many of whom flee their homes to find safety. Keith Shurbutt discusses the challenges this organization faces in the current economic recession and the impact on being treasurer.  As Partner of the Audit practice for non-profits, Keith’s focus is to support many non-profit organizations, so he brings a wealth of knowledge. He discusses non-profit accounting and the differences in accounting from for-profit companies.
Keith also discusses a very interesting aspect facing non-profits – how to raise finances from typical lending sources. This is a truly in-depth conversation you won’t want to miss!
