🟡 Fundraising guidelines and policies were developed to meet industry standards, and it reflects organisation leadership vision as well

Developing: Policies and guidelines are possibly limited to mitigating risks and dictate certain standards.

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.
