Sheltering isn’t just about good intentions. It’s about planning and
developing programs that have a good chance of keeping animals healthy and happy, as well as maximizing adoptions and lifesaving.
To make that happen, shelter directors and managers need to have a
solid understanding of the practical and financial aspects of their
programs. They also need to be able to analyze their results to
determine if a program is achieving its goals, and what its real costs
are.
These are daunting prospects for many in the shelter world. Many
organizations see their best ideas go untried, or fizzle out in the
early stages because they lack the financial expertise to adequately lay
the financial and management groundwork for them.
Fortunately, Dr. Nicole Olynk Widmar has developed a shelter
financial management tool that can be used to analyze financial outcomes
for shelter programs under different management strategies.
Please join Dr. Widmar as Maddie’s InstituteSM presents The Dollars and Sense of Sheltering: A Tool for Financially Evaluating Your Shelter’s Programs, a free webcast on Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 9 PM Eastern.
