Sustainable Funding Through Investment: The overlooked opportunity for NFPs (Webinar)
Date: 26 May 2026
Tuesday 26 May | 1:00–2PM AEST | Online | Recorded
Presented by TIP Group | FREE
Many community organisations and NFPs work tirelessly to secure grants, run appeals and build donor relationships, yet overlook one of the most powerful tools for long-term sustainability: investment. Could this be the missing piece in your organisation’s long-term funding strategy?
At this training, you'll learn:
- How to assess if your organisation is investment-ready, including simple tests boards and executives can use to understand their current position.
- How to start the conversation at board level—what questions to ask, how to build confidence, and how to approach investment without fear or confusion.
- The key steps to establishing a sustainable investment strategy, from setting policy to choosing the right structures and understanding risk.
- Where to find support, including the advisory, governance and sector-specific resources available to help community organisations get started.
- How investment income can complement fundraising, reduce pressure on grants, and create long-term financial stability
- Real examples of NFPs that have successfully built or grown investment portfolios, and the impact it has had on their service delivery and mission.
This 1 hour webinar will be held live and free on Tuesday 26th May from 1:00pm to 2:00pm AEST.
