Leaders play a critical role in securing sustainable income streams for not-for-profit organisations. Increasingly, this includes essential financial support from the philanthropic sector. Boards that successfully engage with fundraising play a huge role in the success of your organisation: influencing its revenue mix, strategic maturity and it how it attracts dynamic people and leaders in the future. For executives and Board leaders, understanding the philanthropic sector and how to secure sustainable income streams are leadership skills increasingly sought after by for-purpose Boards.
