Assignment

Part I (70%):

1.    Choose three 501c3 organizations with similar missions and download their 990s from www.guidestar.org.  These organizations can be similar to your hypothetical organization, or simply three organizations that work in an area of interest to you.   
2.    Draft a memo to your instructor that analyzes the financial statements using at least one profitability, liquidity and long-term solvency ratio for each organization.  Be sure to discuss how the ratios might impact how they would affect the management of your nonprofit organization (see attached Excel table for a sample of how to calculate the ratios from 990s).
3.    What other information might you want to use in determining the organization’s health?  Why?

For your hypothetical organization (College Preperation Association), write a budget narrative to fund a new program about starting a nonprofit to help high school stdents enter into college.
