🔴 Our income has reduced or remained the same over the last 3-years (negative growth)

Notes for Development:

- Conduct a detail fundraising efficacy diagnostic to identify areas for immediate and longer-term changes. The problem areas would be around- investment, people, process, and system only. It is easier to gather evidence around these; much tougher to demonstrate strong intent to change the status quo.
