Use the Form 990 to Tell Your Story - March 2025

Use the Form 990 to Tell Your Story

Debra Faulk, CAP^®

If you think the public is not reading your organization’s Form 990, think again! More donors than ever before are using Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax) to inform their donation decision. Yes, CPAs prepare Form 990 because of the financial reporting requirements, but as a fundraising and program professional, are you ensuring the narrative sections communicate key “mission moments,” compelling people to give? If not, then this session is for you!
