OL 665 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Because the money needed to operate a not-for-profit organization comes largely from private donations and public grants, spending the money

hand-in-hand for a well-managed not-for-profit organization.

organization. You will use this information to prepare your analysis. You will not submit the worksheet as part of the milestone assignment.
