NEED:

The Flint River Farms School Preservation Society, Inc a non-profit organization, started in 2004 and consists of very dedicated and hard working people.  They have accomplished a lot of great things, such as, developing a community park, which has been recognized as a Historical Site.  Community activities and fundraisers are periodically held at the site. As their organization continued to grow, they were confronted with many challenges. Most importantly was the need to finacially manage the organization resources for better accountability and service.

HOW RBEDP HELPED:

RBEDP Financial Management Specialists conducted several group Internal Control and Financial Management Training that were practically helpful to the Flint River Farms School Preservation Society, Inc.

RESULTS:

Mr. Cleveland Whitehead, president of the organization, indicated that the hands-on training that they received from Tuskegee University has helped them to "tremendously improve their financial accountability."  The members are now better prepared to manage, budget and keep track of donations, fundraising revenue and other funds that come into the organization.
