Successful NGOs need the right funding mix to create Impact and build a better world. But with donor funds severely restricted, and constantly changing priorities and demands the key question is how can we build a financially sustainable NGO?
The purpose of this course is for participants to go beyond discussing their NGOs financial resources (or lack thereof) as a problem, and actively plan for a solution that lasts.
Format: a 2 day in person training course in classroom.
In this training you will learn
- What works? A case based look at successful and failing NGOs worldwide.
- What matters? A look at the key dynamics of non-profit financial management and what factors differentiate a financially sustainable organisation from a failing one.
- What grants? Developing new funding streams with pitches to investors*.
- What’s my organisation’s risk? Assess your organisations financial risk using your own financial information (if submitted in advance of the course).
- What unrestricted funding? How to create and maximize cost recovery options to boost funding use.
- What about the costs? How to manage overheads.
- What funding gap? Building and growing financial reserves to avoid gaps.
- Learning is group based, using your organisations real finances on strict confidence rules to ensure you leave with a practical, actionable plan to build your NGOs financial sustainability.
- *Our Investor Advisory firm Human Planet Ventures is available to receive ready pitches for investor communication (free of charge to NGOs).
