Delivering effective and impactful outcomes for your NGO can be dependant on raising funds and working in partnerships. This guidance is designed to help your organization, through funding secured, to:
- Cover the full costs of delivering high-quality, impactful work
- protect you staff and the communities involved in your work from harm
- manage and mitigate risks as cost-effectively as possible
- ensure financial sustainability, with enough reserves to respond to risks and
opportunities that arise.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that financial support and partnerships are for the furtherance of the organization’s objectives and to provide transparency regarding the identity of the funding sources and partners to avoid any suspicion of inappropriate influence or conflicts of interest concerning the organization’s activities. Furthermore, it is essential that the organization does not expose itself by accepting financial support or entering into partnerships from questionable or inappropriate sources.
