GOVERNANCE IS THE FOUNDATION

GOOD GOVERNANCE
Is the foundation for building a sustainable, effective and accountable non-profit sector. It is the gateway to building trust with funders, communities and stakeholders.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Effective governance practices, including accountable boards enable non-profit organisations to understand, identify and manage risks to the organisation and its partners.

LEADERSHIP
Good leadership is the thing that distinguishes successful organisations. Effective succession planning is a pre-requisite for building a stable and sustainable non-profit sector.
