It is very important to have an understanding of what your organisation wishes to achieve. The first thing we do when we start working with our clients is to get a clear idea of what you wish to achieve.
Once the objectives have been agreed, it is essential to produce a Strategy Report as a road map to help direct your organisation.
This is very important for all charities.
Project Management is now critical for any organisation with an ongoing need to deliver certain initiatives and improvement plans as part of the day job and with limited resources available. If you are planning any campaigns or events, understanding how to project manage is very important.
It is essential that individuals and companies are aware who you are and what you do, so getting your message out to the right audience and media outlets is very important.
It is important not to have a high reliance on one form of income but to diversify.
Through the Strategy Report we will help identify the different streams of income that is best for your organisation.
These could be in the form of Grants, Corporate and individual giving, events etc.
The long term sustainbility of your charity is essential for it to carry out the projects and campaigns it was set up for. Long term funding and good long term relationships with donors and supporters is very important.
There has been a high reliance on grants by charities. This has created uncertainty on long term projects with the distinct possibility of non renewal by the funder.
It is therefore important that ways of creating ongoing funding are explored. This could be through membership, regular donations, long term corporate contracts etc. With the Strategy Report we will help decide on the best route to take.
