Partner Organisations
Supporting Organisations
Our training, support and resources enable our members and partners to be more effective and impactful in each of their own individual areas. Through our expertise and experience, we support nonprofits to become more effective at what they do. Our training support and capacity building with leadership in good governance is based on hands-on experience and the foundation of our 45 resident organisations.
We believe good governance is the beating heart of a healthy nonprofit sector and that running a charity or nonprofit organisation is a challenging and remarkably worthwhile act. There is no one path to success and every nonprofit’s journey meets its own unique obstacles and diversions.
Our mission is to successfully navigate these paths for nonprofits nationwide:-
- To be better informed and equipped to carry out their own remits more effectively
- To be aware of and able to employ best practice for good governance
- To be better networked with and supported by peer organisations
- To be more efficient and effectively run so that they are trusted by their funders.
