Show Me the Money: An Introduction to Finance Documents for Arts Funders
Tuesday, September 10 at 2pm EDT/11am PDT
- Champ Knecht, Director of Operations & Finance, Grantmakers in the Arts
Often, we hear from grants managers and program officers that they wish there were an introduction to financial documents that they review in their arts and culture funding work. Well, here it is! Designed for non-finance professionals, this webinar will review profit and loss statements, trial balances, and what they can – and can't – tell about an organization's finances. We'll also touch on the federal Form 990 tax return for nonprofits and a basic cash flow projection. Financial documents can be intimidating– join Grantmakers in the Art's Director of Operations & Finance Champ Knecht on Tuesday, September 10 at 2pm EDT/11am PDT to develop a basic familiarity with the information they contain so they'll be a little less scary!
This 90-minute webinar will include interactive breakout rooms.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Live captioning will be available in English throughout the webinar. For additional accommodation requests, please contact GIA Program Manager Jaime Sharp, jaime@giarts.org, at least three (3) business days before the event.

Champ Knecht has been working in non-profit finance for two decades, most recently as Deputy Director for Administration at The Drawing Center. Prior to that, he was at MoMA PS1, and in Pittsburgh PA at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Early in his career, Champ worked at New York Foundation for the Arts in its artist sponsorship program, and it was there that he realized arts management was to be his chosen career path. At The Drawing Center, he guided the institution through a major renovation and capital campaign.

Champ is active on the Human Rights Campaign’s national Board of Governors, and is the Greater NY Steering Committee Co-Chair.
