This half day session is aimed at trustees who want to be strategic about their organisation’s financial sustainability. Using a mix of presentation and group exercises, NCVO advisors will make clear what trustees need to know about overseeing income generation from diverse sources, including gifts, grants, contracts and trading. Participants will learn about the legal, operational and cultural issues they need to think about when accessing new income, as well as key considerations in overseeing a change in the way the organisation is funded. The session will also look at mitigation of financial risk associated with a new funding strategy.
