Non-profits are driven by passionate individuals and organisation who seek purpose and make an impact. However, the need to achieve financial sustainability, be able to diversify funding streams and tap into corporate social responsibility funds, requires non-profits to adopt a business approach, have efficient procedures, policies and governance in place that ensure transparency. But often small organisations lack skills and competencies required to be able to proof to donors that they can deliver what they say.
Accountability, transparency & financial health will be the most important selection criteria a donor will seek, combined with the ability to “think big” and enthuse with an inspiring vision, impact and “can do” attitude. Alignment with goals that match current interests, a good track record, performance and more so, how non-profits will sustain a project beyond funding will play a substantial role in the selection process.
This workshop is designed to highlight the needs from a donor´s perspective and how non-profits can upskill their staff and create a lean, effective, transparent and compliant organisation that makes donors feel confident that their money is well invested.
