Cost control for charities: maximising the impact for target causes by making budgets go further

Continuing economic hardship and brutal government cutbacks have seen competition for funds in the not for-profit and charity sectors increase steadily. With disposable income under greater pressure than ever, charities are finding they must work twice as hard to maintain and grow the donations they rely on – especially when there are so many good causes vying for public support. At the same time, inflation is driving up operating costs. To ensure that every penny that comes in is used to maximum effect, organisations need to be slick and efficient in the way they procure goods and services, balance the books and generally manage their finances.

Connected Philanthropy

whitePaper | December 21, 2021

We live in a world that is changing both rapidly and dramatically. Climate change threatens hundreds of millions. Policy changes have reduced or eliminated many of the benefits in healthcare, education, and other areas. Mass migration overwhelms the availability of resources needed as a result of the influx of new immigrants. The public sector can’t keep up, which means that philanthropy needs to work harder than ever to fill the gaps and improve people’s lives. At the same time, philanthropy has a new generation of mega-donors, many of whom come from the tech sector and find the established processes in funding dated and limiting: they lack capacity, visibility, and the ability to collaborate widely. The rapid growth in donors and money flowing through the system, coupled with the increasing demand for nonprofits to meet needs locally and globally, make it harder for all of us to quickly and efficiently connect funders to the boots on the ground.
