Target Audience
Charities/Community Groups/Voluntary Organisations/Social Enterprises in the Republic of Ireland whose turnover is between €500,000 and €1 million per year and who have not previously been short-listed in any category in the Good Governance Awards. There are two places left for two organisations to participate in this Programme this year, it would be preferred if organisations were at the stage of considering a 2022 Annual Report or have a 2022 Annual Report in early development. A small group (minimum 2) of representatives (staff/directors/trustees) with sufficient seniority within the organisation should participate.
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 Annual Report Consultancy & Support 2023 was made available to 6 Organisations already this year. We are now offering this option to 4 more Organisations only.
Outline
The annual report represents a real opportunity for organisations in the non-profit sector across Ireland to showcase their transparency and trust by outlining their performance, governance, culture and financials. An annual report can provide a comprehensive picture of a non-profit organisation, as well as its achievements and future plans rather than meagrely meeting minimum compliance requirements. An annual report serves to reinforce relationships with stakeholders and build relationships with the public, potential donors, volunteers and supporters.
Carmichael will work with your organisation on a 1-1 basis offering customised consultancy during the course of 2023 with a view to helping you develop the best Annual Reports that you can.
Format
2 initial two-hour Introductory sessions per Organisation to cover:
- Walk through of the different sections of an annual report.
