Laurie Mook, Manager, Social Economy Centre, U of T

Social Accounting for Nonprofits: The Expanded Value Added Statement.  Nonprofits are organizations with a social mission, and, as such, their social impact is a vital part of their performance story. The costs of nonprofits can be easily measured; however, not captured by conventional accounting is the value of their nonmonetized resources such as volunteers. This session provides an introduction to social accounting for nonprofits, and presents a case study in which the value added by volunteers of a nonprofit organization is combined with its financial statements in a social accounting statement called the Expanded Value Added Statement. By combining social and economic information, a very different performance story of the organization emerges.

7:40pm

Phillip Smith, Principal, Community Bandwidth

Case Study: “Bringing your program logic to the web”.  The Web is a dynamic and evolving platform. Chronic under-funding and constant shifts in grant maker priorities make successful online initiatives a moving target for community-based organizations. But the opportunities that the Web brings for streamlining internal processes and extending client services to hard-to-reach populations should not go unexplored.

In this session, Phillip will facilitate a conversation about extending traditional program logic to the Web. Participants will work through exercises that deepen understanding of what's important  online and how that relates to organizational objectives. This session will be user-driven and provide ample time for individual participation and questions.

7:40pm

Gord Muschett & Angie Mackie, The Donnée Group

Case Study: The consolidation of local, provincial and national level funding operations into one organization wide, integrated program.  Join Gord and Angie as they present their strategy for The Red Cross Ontario, Canadian Diabetes Association & Alzheimer Society of Canada.
