Strategies for financial sustainability for NPO’s
1. Diversification of income sources
2. Reducing “donor” dependence - contracts for services or outputs – focus is shifting from input to output & impact so too the financing model!!
3. Building, investing, & protecting reserves – necessary to support new models of financing!
4. Building relationships with government and the private sector

Tenders & ‘trade’ contracts1. A tender is an offer to do work or supply goods at a fixed
price. Once accepted, a tender is a binding contract.
2. A contract between parties to deliver particular activities (services) or outcomes (products) for a fee or price.• Direct exchange of value - direct to the
customer/beneficiary and paid for by them • Indirect delivery of value to others - Contracted/paid
by one party and delivered to a different party/beneficiary

Tenders & contracts for NPO’s1. For sale of core activities and outcomes directly related
to objectives, e.g. NICRO, Trauma Centre, JET Education Services

The Possibilities• Large donor funds are shifting to support government
services• Government needs NGOs to assist with service
delivery• Once you have completed a successful tender with
government your likelihood of winning further bids increases
• Government and private sector
institutions allow for long term
contracts
