As custodians of public funds and donations, you must discharge your 
responsibilities carefully. The increased scrutiny you face puts pressure on you unlike that felt by business owners. Our Members and staff serve on many social service, arts, and foundation boards, so we are intimately aware of your challenges and opportunities. You need an advisor who understands what you’re facing on a daily basis. Who knows the role your credibility plays within your community. Who can bring ideas to improve what you are doing. That’s where the nonprofit team at SEK adds value.
Our nonprofit team receives specialized training related specifically to nonprofit organizations. The members of our nonprofit team are often involved in providing that training to other professionals and our clients through seminars. At our annual nonprofit seminar, you can receive training on the current topics impacting the nonprofit sector.
With the expertise that comes from working with more than 300 nonprofits, you will see how our knowledge evolves into advice, suggestions, and fresh ideas that will propel you forward.
