Highly developed: Policies and guidelines play a very important role in fundraising success.

Reflection:

• No response necessary as we have adequate policies and guidelines at place and they are periodically reviewed.
• Review last current policies and guidelines as it has been over a year from the time they were adopted.
• How can robust policies and guidelines can actually optimise fundraising and not merely mitigate risks.
• We may have basic requirements covered; do we have a periodic and consistent development plan for them.
• Not having adequate policies, or a strong culture around its optimal use can harm the organisation.
• Do we understand the risks and the upsides as well?
• Ask for other FF Partner to share some of their policies etc.

Action:

• Identify immediate and must needs in consultation with industry specialist.
• Develop comprehensive policies and guidelines - not only to mitigate risks but also to create new possibilities.
• Assign the task to a group of internal people.
