Not-for-Profit Finance Week 2020

Training Opportunities

Our Community
Not-for-Profit Finance Week, an initiative of Commonwealth Bank and Our Community, is a celebration of ideas, knowledge and financial capacity-building for the $100 billion Australian not-for-profit sector.

The aim of this event, held 3-7 August 2020, is to increase the profile of the not-for-profit sector, bolster the financial capacity and sustainability of the sector, and provide support for the staff, board members and treasurers carrying out the important task of overseeing the finances.

Activities during Not-for-Profit Finance Week will centre around:

  • An information packed series of free webinars, where you can have your questions answered
  • The Not-for-Profit Treasurers Awards open for 2020, where we highlight and recognise the work of all not-for-profit treasurers
  • The launch of the Not-for-Profit Balance Sheet – a resource for CEOs and directors
