Pillar 1
Build Your Financial Foundation
Map the finance team, demystify accounting language, build solid bookkeeping workflows, and put internal controls in place to protect the organization.
For Foundations
Your grantees do extraordinary work. Prosper Learning Co. gives them the financial skills to lead their organizations with the same clarity they bring to their mission, so the impact you fund actually compounds.
The Challenge
The Gap Between Intention and Impact
Foundations invest in organizations doing vital work in their communities. But many grantees are running those organizations without the financial training to match the responsibility. They were promoted into financial leadership, but not prepared for it. And most existing financial education in the sector was designed for accountants, not for the leaders who actually carry the weight of the numbers.
Grantees struggle with financial reporting quality and consistency
Internal capacity-building is resource-intensive and difficult to sustain
Existing training options are technical, inaccessible, or designed for the wrong audience
What Your Grantees Will Learn
Six Pillars and a Capstone Project
Master Your Nonprofit Numbers® is built around six learning pillars and a capstone project, delivered over five months. Every lesson includes a video, a reflection prompt, an application exercise grantees do in their own organization that week, and a curated resource library of templates and tools.
Pillar 2
Structure Your Systems
Evaluate accounting software, clean up the chart of accounts, and map the ecosystem of tools that touch financial data.
Pillar 3
Tell Your Financial Story
Read the balance sheet and income statement, calculate the metrics that matter, and communicate financial information clearly to boards, staff, and funders.
Pillar 4
Plan with Confidence
Build budgets that reflect organizational priorities, forecast cash flow with real data, and plan revenue strategically across diversified streams.
Pillar 5
Manage Complexity with Clarity
Track restricted funds correctly, manage grants without dropping balls, and calculate true program costs and indirect rates.
Pillar 6
Lead with Financial Confidence
Engage the board on financial questions, understand the 990, prepare for audits, and build year-round financial systems instead of year-end scrambles.
FAQs
Common questions from foundation and nonprofit partners considering a licensing partnership.
What does the foundation need to do?
Less than you'd expect. We handle curriculum, facilitation, technology, and participant support. Your team helps us understand your network, makes introductions to participating grantees, and receives the reporting at the end.
What if a grantee doesn't fully engage?
We track engagement throughout the program and surface concerns early. If a participant is falling behind, we work with them directly first and let your team know when an engagement issue needs visibility.
Do we see individual grantee outcomes, or just aggregate data?
Both. You receive participant-level engagement and milestone visibility during the program, plus an aggregate impact report at the end with Financial Health Score changes, organizational outcomes, and narrative themes.
What happens to grantees after the program ends?
Every graduate keeps access to the Prosper AI CFO, the program materials, and a digital credential they can display publicly. The skills they build are theirs to keep.
How does the licensing work?
Your foundation funds the program for your grantees. We deliver it under co-branded materials, with your foundation's identity alongside ours. You receive impact data; your grantees receive the training, credential, and long-term tools.
