Neil tackles the charity overhead debate and asks if you want money from government, what percentage you should be investing to get it and keep it.

Neil met with Pro Bono Australia journalist, Maggie Coggan, to discuss his new whitepaper, released in partnership with Perpetual: How charities can improve their relationship with all levels of government.

In a post-COVID world, many NFPs will need to rethink how and where they operate, and how they fund their mission. Good government engagement will be crucial. Our Co-Founding Director, Neil, prepared this whitepaper in partnership with Perpetual.

Neil looks at why the social purpose sector needs to be aware of astroturfing and shares advice on how to spot it and how best to manage it.

Many NFP and social purpose organisations unwittingly find themselves on lobbyist registers. It is critical you check to see whether you are also in this situation.

There is no barrier to charities participating in political activity where it is consistent with their charitable purpose. In fact, advocacy can be a very successful strategy.

It’s time to work together to reduce the red tape burden. We want to hear your stories and solutions about excessive regulation in the sector.
