Organisational Tools for Funders

SVA’s organisational tools can also be used by funders to assess the effectiveness of their investment or in some instances to develop their own plans.

Why

The organisational tools assist funders to:

• Identify high impact organisations for investment
• Assess the risk / return of a potential venture
• Identify areas where support may be required for funded organisations
• Compare investment performance across similar organisation and over time
• Position funded ventures to leverage investment dollars and to achieve sustainability

When

For funders or other non-profit stakeholders the organisational tools are helpful for:

• Assessing the risk and potential return of a new or repeat investment
• Setting performance guidelines for grantees
• Identifying areas of required support/ assistance for a grantee organisation
• Helping grantee organisations to:
• Build capacity
• Improve their planning and performance management
• Better define and measure outcomes
• Responding to shareholder requests for fund performance / outcomes related information
