Dr Craig Furneaux presents at the CFE Forum…
Abstract:
Non-profit organisations are expected to apply most, if not all, of their income towards their charitable purpose – as the provision of a social or environmental benefit is a condition of being granted tax exempt status. As non-profit organisations have no shareholders, all surplus is meant to be applied to achieving organisational mission. How then, can a charitable organisation maintain financial stewardship, plan for organisational growth, prepare for exogenous shocks (such as COVID), and manage issues like zombie philanthropy? In short, charities need to build financial robustness. This seminar will explore what the multiple types of reserves are, why they are needed, and how your organisation can develop a reserves policy. The paper builds on longitudinal analysis of financial data on charities from the ACNC
