Overview

Purpose

The purpose of this course is to build the confidence and skills of NGO leaders to improve the financial sustainability of their, or partner, organisations by:
• assessing and managing critical financial risk and
• developing a financing strategy and associated policies.

Target audience

This course is aimed at policy and strategic decision-makers of small to medium-sized NGOs, including Board members. The course is also suitable for international NGO programme managers who advise local partners on how to plan for financial sustainability.
Previous financial management experience or training is not a requirement for this course although it is advantageous to complete the Essentials of Financial Management course first if you are completely new to financial management.
During the course, there will be an opportunity to practice key planning tools using your own organisation’s situation, so it is important that you are familiar with your organisation’s strategic objectives and are in a position to implement the learning after the course. The course will have the most effective outcomes if two people from the same organisation are able to attend at the same time.

Key discoveries

By the end of the course, you will:
• Describe the components of a financing strategy for an NGO including the four key features of a financially sustainable NGO
• Outline options for building up unrestricted reserve funds to create a safety net and support future development
• Outline options for financing and managing central support costs across the organisation
• Carry out a financial risk assessment using selected analysis and mapping tools to identity critical threats facing your or partner NGOs
• Analyse financial statements using financial ratios to assess the donor dependency and reserves status of your or partner NGOs’ current and desired financing mix
• Carry out a resources audit to establish the potential for alternative financing options in your or partner NGOs
• Create an action plan for the next steps to finalise your organisation’s financing strategy.
