Information management is a fundamental function of all not-for-profits. Organisational documents and records are valuable assets that not only provide evidence of organisational activities, but also support your strategic objectives and your day-to-day operations. Advances in information and communication technology over the last few decades have led to the creation and collection of vast quantities of documents and data in electronic systems. This has dramatically changed the way organisations need to approach their information management practices. Poor information management can seriously hamper the conduct of the organisation, lead to inefficient practices, lowered productivity and put an organisation at risk of regulatory non-compliance. Quality management of information, on the other hand, results in efficient work practices, improved decision making, clearer communication and reporting and can help with accountability and compliance.Watch now

“I can’t imagine technology not being a key part of our organisation. We’ve used lots of tech right from the start because we quickly realised the more we used it the more people we helped.” Nic Marchesi’s answer to the question of what Orange Sky Australia would look like without technology reveals two profound truths about technology and Australian not-for-profits. The first is that ‘people-centric’ and ‘technology-centric’ are not mutually exclusive - even at an organisation that offers a service as personally impactful as a free mobile laundry and shower service for people experiencing homelessness. The second is that the Young Australian of the Year 2016 can’t even conceive of how his organisation’s 1200 volunteers and 27 services could achieve what they do without the technology that underpins every aspect of their work.Posted on 23/11/2018 by -
Video is everywhere. Collectively, we upload 48 hours of video to YouTube every minute. Not-for-profits upload hours of video to their websites, Twitter and Facebook. It seems like every not-for-profit in the world is either using video – or panicking that they don’t know how. Simply putting a video up doesn’t mean anyone will watch it. We’re exposed to so much video today, viewers no longer have the time or patience for the bad stuff. If you’re video’s not good, it’s gone – and so is all the time and money you spent shooting and promoting it.Watch now

When the times get tough, the tough get creative. Establishing a more stable and consistent revenue stream is an important priority for NFPs and NGOs of all shapes and sizes, and sometimes donations just aren’t cutting it when it comes to getting your big ideas across the line. With more and more charities starting up side-hustles like online merchandise stores, coffee carts, book shops and even gyms, the conversations around NFPs-turned-social enterprises are taking centre stage, as more and more charities further shape their brand personality with new ventures and ideas - resulting in their causes gaining more attention and traction. This webinar will explore our top ways you can create new revenue streams for your organisation. Course Outcomes: Examples of great social enterprises launched in the NFP sector Brainstorming ideas to create a social enterprise within your NFP Practical next steps to getting started About the Facilitator: Matt is the Co-Founder and CEO of Vollie an online marketplace that is unlocking a new style of skills-based remote volunteering.

We’re a small company doing big things! We work with organisations of diverse size, from smaller start-ups to large multi-nationals. While the lion’s share of our work is with small to medium organisations of 10-200 employees, it is also commonplace for us to offer solutions to large organisations.
