Impact Management
The management of social impact remains elusive for many organisations in the charity and non-profit sector. When impact is considered, it is usually thought of as a task of measurement done to prove one’s worth to funders, as opposed to a comprehensive way of approaching all that one does to improve life for one’s beneficiaries. Although the situation is gradually getting better, there are many organisations who remain in need of support.
Approach
Previous experience suggests that providing one-off training to groups of people from different organisations is unsatisfactory and does not result in substantive post-course action by those organisations. A customised support package for individual organisations is far preferable.
Carmichael will work with your organisation on a 1-1 basis offering a customised support package during the course of 2025 with a view to helping your organisation improve in this very important area.
Target audience
- Charities, community groups/voluntary organisations/social enterprises registered in the Republic of Ireland.
- Small to medium in size.
- A small group (2-3) of representatives (staff/directors/trustees) with sufficient seniority per organisation.
- Committed to engaging in the capacity building and making organisational changes on foot of it.
When booking online, only enrol one person and pay one €100 fee, we will subsequently be in touch with you for information regarding other participants from your organisation. The option to avail of the NTF Impact Management Support Programme 2025 is available to 4 organisations only.
