This #FAQFriday we're exploring why we fund organisations at One World Together, not projects. Project-based funding is at the heart of many of the problems we see in the charity and international charity sector. A range of external donors decide on the thematic priorities that communities have to work towards on, whether or not these match their own priorities at the time. Funding is provided on a short-term, project-basis and spending can only be oriented towards certain deliverables that they must report on. As conditions change, there is no flexibility to enable organisations to rise to new challenges and meet new, unaddressed needs. Often funding does not cover the organisational overheads that they need to pay staff and keep things running. So at One World Together we’ve gone for a drastically different approach that funds organisations, rather than projects. Because it is through longer-term investments in strength and stability that organisations can design strategies and projects that work for them, can invest in the right things that ensure their sustainability, and can remain agile and move in new directions as the conditions around them change.

💳Payment Processing is the lifeblood of charity operations. Here’s Why? 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘴. 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺-𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘊𝘙𝘔 Charities must accept donations in multiple ways, regardless of platform or location. Thus, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐂𝐑𝐌 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. While generic CRMs are limited to some popular payment methods, charity-centric CRMs are designed by default to handle payments through multiple payment processors and locations. Also, in extreme cases of emergency and high-risk environments, when the unexpected suspension of accounts and payment gateway providers may occur, charity-specific CRMs allow you to easily switch and integrate different payment methods so your operations don’t stop.

Digital Transformation Project barriers across the Charity & NFP sector - The Results👇 Lack of resource is seen to be the most common barrier that charities & NFP's come across in their digital transformation projects. What's quite interesting is only 20% of votes were for lack of budget, which has historically been a major issue across the sector. Regardless, these are all common issues we come across when working alongside charities and NFP's. The good news is that we have solutions for all of these barriers!
