FREE TO BE YOU AND ME:
A FINANCIAL STORY
You do not need to be me, your accountant, your former boss or your treasurer. You get to be you.
I was working on a project that had me stumped. There were multiple ways that I could go with the financial analysis and recommendations, and I was overwhelmed with the options facing me. Working at Nonprofits Assistance Fund is like being on the dream island for nonprofit financial problem solvers, and so I asked my colleagues. I got three separate answers from three very different financial leaders.

CLIENT STORY: WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTER
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (WRC) of Minnesota provides quality medical care and rehabilitation for all injured, sick and orphaned wild animals. Phil Jenni, the executive director of WRC, calls it the “emergency veterinarian clinic for wild animals.”

 LOAN SPOTLIGHT
Watercourse Counseling Center
Watercourse Counseling Center (WCC) provides general mental health counseling for individuals and families, and couples counseling for adults and children. Besides the two community clinics WCC operates in Minneapolis, it also provides school-based mental health services. It partners with Minneapolis Public Schools to operate clinics that are designed to support and enhance education outcomes for students at risk by helping students and their families deal with mental health issues that interfere with learning. The organization offers services in English, Spanish, Somali, and Oromo.
Since 2012, WCC has doubled its income and added more employees. Therefore, it needed to expand its south Minneapolis clinic. WCC explored selling its building and then buying or renting another one; however, it decided its best option was to add an additional 960 square feet of accessible space to its current building, more than doubling the size of its main floor. Nonprofits Assistance Fund is proud to provide a real-estate loan to WCC as it develops the facility it needs to better serve its clients. |
