Mission Money Monday 🌊 | There's More to Our Logo Than Meets the Eye

As we count down to Waves of Success, we're taking a closer look at something we see every day—our logo.

But there's a story behind it.

🤝 The hands represent our team and the care we put into supporting the nonprofit community.

🕊️ The bird represents our clients. They are focused on their missions, and we're here to help take care of the accounting so they can soar.

📅 The date represents our history and our commitment to the nonprofit organizations we've served since 2008.

Together, these pieces tell a bigger story:

We support the people doing the mission-critical work.

And that's one reason our annual retreat matters.

We take time to step away, learn from one another, strengthen our team and think about how we can serve our clients even better.

Because when our team grows, our impact grows.

🌊 3 weeks until Waves of Success!

📣 NFP Partners is headed to the 2026 Iowa Nonprofit Summit!

We’re excited to share that Laura Jorstad, CEO of NFP Partners, will be presenting at this year’s summit in Ankeny on September 14–15!

📊 Learn Track: Your Budget Partner — Tools for Smarter Nonprofit Management

A budget is more than a document you create once a year. It’s a tool that can help nonprofit leaders understand what’s happening, spot trends, and make smarter decisions throughout the year.

In this session, Laura will take a practical look at budget variance analysis and how nonprofit leaders can move beyond simply asking, “Are we over or under budget?”

Attendees will learn how to:
✔️ Identify meaningful budget variances
✔️ Understand what the numbers are really telling you
✔️ Ask better financial questions
✔️ Recognize the impact of grants, staffing, seasonality, and programs
✔️ Communicate financial results to boards and non-financial leaders
✔️ Use financial information to make proactive decisions

Because understanding your numbers isn’t just about accounting—it’s about strengthening your mission.

📍 Ankeny, Iowa
📅 September 14–15, 2026

We hope to see you there!

If leadership isn’t tracking KPIs, they’re making decisions with limited visibility.

KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) help nonprofits measure:

✔ Financial health

✔ Operational performance

✔ Mission progress

Because good leadership requires more than intuition—it requires data.

This week’s Word Wednesday explores how KPIs help organizations:

• Identify trends early

• Improve accountability

• Make smarter decisions

The right metrics can completely change how an organization operates.

What KPI does your organization monitor most closely?

Mission Money Monday 🌊 | 4 Weeks to Waves of Success

Before we catch the next wave, we're taking a moment to look back.
Last year, the NFP Partners team gathered for Lighthouse by the Sea—a retreat filled with learning, connection, reflection and plenty of memories.

Our retreats aren't just about stepping away from our day-to-day work. They're about stepping back together to think about where we've been, where we're going and how we can continue to show up for our clients, our team and the nonprofit community we serve.

Because our mission isn't just about accounting.

It's about CARE.
It's about DEDICATION.
And it's about making sure we're equipped to help our clients make an impact.

🌊 4 weeks until Waves of Success.

What better way to prepare for the next chapter than by revisiting where we started?

Donors are paying attention to where your money goes.
One metric they often evaluate?

Program Efficiency Ratio.

This ratio measures how much of your spending directly supports programs versus administration and fundraising.

While numbers never tell the full story, transparency matters.

This week’s Word Wednesday explains:
✔ What program efficiency ratio means
✔ Why stakeholders care
✔ How nonprofits can communicate financial impact more clearly

Strong reporting builds stronger trust.

Save this post for your next board meeting discussion.

08/24/2026

Funders and auditors know what to look for — and inflated program percentages are usually the first thing they question.

These mistakes are common, but they're also avoidable with the right process in place.

The nonprofits that build donor trust are the ones whose numbers can stand up to scrutiny.

Before your next audit or grant report, it's worth a second look at how you're allocating expenses.

08/19/2026

Payroll is often one of a nonprofit’s largest expenses.

But many organizations struggle with allocating it correctly.

When employees support multiple:
✔ Programs
✔ Grants
✔ Departments
their payroll often needs to be distributed proportionally.

Accurate payroll allocation supports:
• Better reporting
• Stronger compliance
• Cleaner audits

This week’s Word Wednesday explains why this process matters more than most people realize.

If payroll allocation feels messy, you’re not alone.

08/17/2026

Shared costs are where allocation gets tricky — one utility bill, three categories.

The good news: auditors and funders don't expect perfection, they expect a reasonable, documented method.

Time studies, square footage, headcount — the method matters less than consistency and documentation.

If your nonprofit doesn't have a written allocation methodology, now's the time to build one.
