As we slowly start to transition into a new phase of business during COVID-19, NFPs and charities are now looking for ways to continue business with restrictions in place for the foreseeable future.
Boards must now begin to reassess how their NFP or charity is performing during COVID-19, and their new long term goals and concerns. Boards must reconsider their stakeholders and their capacity to support the organisation, the future of government grants, as well as whether their operations continue to satisfy their NFP or charitable purpose. Finally, NFPs and charities should continue to proceed with caution when considering becoming party to any contracts during and post COVID-19.
This presentation will:
- Provide an update on government incentives and legislative changes for NFPs and charities;
- Provide guidance on how boards and senior management should strategise during the coming months for the long term benefit of the organisation; and
- Discuss what NFPs and charities should be considering when negotiating any contracts during and post COVID-19.
