QuickBooks for Nonprofits Offered

Many nonprofit agencies find it difficult to track donations and grant information that they use to operate their agencies. General accounting does not always make it an easy process for these agencies to show different donor and grant information. QuickBooks has helped to simplify that process for nonprofit organizations. QuickBooks for Nonprofits was designed to offer nonprofit agencies the ability to track their donors and grant programs more effectively and efficiently.

A four-hour QuickBooks for Nonprofits workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 1, from 1-5 p.m. at Pierpont Community & Technical College of Fairmont State University's Center for Workforce Education at Veterans Square in downtown Fairmont. The training session is open to the public and is being conducted by the Pierpont C&TC Regional Small Business Development Center. For more information, call Tim James, Center Manager for the Fairmont Regional SBDC, at (304) 367-4920.

"This comprehensive course allows you to effectively maintain donor and grant information, produce individual program budgets and track expenses. It is a hands-on workshop that allows participants to learn the program and apply it to their specific needs," James said. "With the class being taught by a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, it also allows the opportunity for questions that normally you would not be able to ask."

As seating is limited to 20 people, those interested in attending the seminar should pre-register by calling (304) 367-4920. Cost for the workshop is $129.

The SBDC is partially funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, although such funding does not constitute an expressed or implied endorsement of any of the co-sponsors or participants opinions, products or services. All SBDC workshops are co-sponsored by the West Virginia Development Office. Special arrangements for the handicapped can be made by contacting the center at least one week in advance.
