Inadequate (Poorly developed)

Reflection:

  • What are the root cause for lack of development in fundraising operations?
  • How can a fundraising team structure be determined?
  • Do we need an expansion plan?
  • Market does not provide scope of hiring? How do we solve the problem?
  • Conventional operational arrangements will not best fit in our context, what kind of fundraising structure may best serve us? 
  • A starting budget can be provided for urgent hiring. No response required.
  • Others- 

Action:

  • Conduct an internal structural audit to mitigate risks
  • Develop a longer- term fundraising plan
  • Develop a hiring strategy- identify gaps that must be filled urgently 
  • Create a budget or raise the required seed money
  • Consider internal role switch/role improvement 
  • No action necessary
  • Others-

Notes for Development:

  1. Required to build an exclusive team of professional.

  2. Not having a proper developed fundraising operation can be very risky as the charities are increasingly becoming vulnerable to various macro-economic volatilities.

  3. Consider conducting a basic need assessment and on war footing fill the major gaps to begin with. Creating a team might take both time and money; consider starting with role diversification of existing staffs; allocate exclsusive fundraising task time.
