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 we build a financially sustainable NGO?
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.
