Not-for-Profit
The wealth expected to transfer from the baby boomer generation represents a tremendous opportunity for proactive groups. Not-for-profit organizations with a clear mission, solid management, visionary leadership and strong resource networks are most likely to succeed. Our advisors understand the unique issues and needs of associations and membership organizations, foundations, social service agencies and religious institutions.
Not-for-profits need more than a good heart to stay in business. To serve your constituents and fulfill your mission, you need to manage your organization as efficiently and responsibly as a for-profit business.
Though competition for donors and customers is fierce, the trillions of dollars in wealth expected to transfer from the baby boomer generation represents a tremendous opportunity for proactive not-for-profits. In this environment, organizations with a clear mission, solid management, visionary leadership and strong resource networks are most likely to succeed.
BKD National Not-for-Profit Group understands the unique issues and needs of many different types of not-for-profits. For example, we can help:
- Associations and membership organizations deliver value to members, reduce dependency on dues and effectively communicate with members
- Foundations better serve their donors, monitor the performance of grantees and build endowment
- Social service agencies measure the true cost of programs so management can better align resources with mission
- Religious Institutions demonstrate value, provide accountability and build trust in a changing environment

“BKD was instrumental in guiding us with their expert tax guidance and a new accounting methodology for our subsidiary. The result was lowering of the tax liability for both organizations and a streamlined, enhanced accounting approach for our subsidiary.
BKD has in-depth experience with non-profits and especially with organizations that may have a for-profit entity as part of their overall company structure. They have a strong expertise in the tax and IT areas, performed soundly with due diligence, and showed solid work ethics.
As our association has grown, so have the complexities of our business. BKD has been very helpful with answers to questions regarding grants and operations, helping us to demonstrate transparency and best practices as we deliver high-level services to the non-profit sector throughout the state of Colorado.”
