Terry Miller . biz
Welcome!
This is the home page for
Terry Miller.

My purpose is help the
nonprofit sector by providing
a variety of free information
and tools.  

And not least, to provide
myself a soap box!
The pages on this site are:

  • Download Materials - a variety of free educational materials, spreadsheet
    templates, and Power Point presentations, sorted by topic, intended to
    provide a free service and get the basics out of the way.  Later, I may make
    some information available on a paid basis, such as my book.

  • External Resources - this page is a list of resources:  other organizations,
    practitioners and resources to help nonprofits.

  • [The New] Form 990 (for 2008) - information, opinion, and training
    materials on the New 990 - the first major overhaul in decades of this key,
    very publicly available form.

  • Q&A - users (you!) can send questions which I will edit (to generalize) and
    answer.   Some overlap with the Screeds page.

  • Jobs Search - a page of good resources for finding or posting a job in the
    nonprofit sector, particularly in the finance realm and Bay Area.

  • Who Am I? - my areas of expertise & bio / background qualifications with
    linked: c.v., list of formal public presentations, and a chronological summary
    of my client engagements.  

  • Contact Me - a basic contact form with space for question or comment;
    page also has a link that will open your email program to send me email.

  • Screeds - this will be where I blog my opinions on the nonprofit sector,
    regulators, watchdogs, the press and public opinion.  Opinions here and
    throughout my site are my fault alone!  Some overlap with the Q&A page.

Upcoming Public Workshops & Seminars

September 22, 2011 in Portland, bright and early at 7:30 AM, for the Nonprofit Fiscal Managers Association within
the Nonprofit Association of Oregon (formerly TACS), I will be presenting a session titled Form 990 Update:
Changes, Experiences & Outlook; we'll look at how the not-so-new 990 has changed in 2009 and 2010 from
2008, what (little) IRS has said about the experience so far, compare notes, and briefly preview the 2011 Draft
Forms (gives additional insight into how the "new" form is going).  Registration details are here.
