What's New?
The Government will provide additional funding over three years for Nonprofit Australia Pty Ltd (NPA) to continue its role in building the capacity of the not-for-profit sector. The additional funding will allow NPA to focus on identifying and addressing the major drivers of inefficiency in non-profit organisations, and on improving the business knowledge and capabilities of non-profit executives.
NPA will improve the viability of non-profit organisations who provide such a valuable contribution to the Australian Community.
Background

- increasing the capabilities of non-profit leadership teams and Board members;

- reducing operating costs of non-profit organisations;
- improving the quality and transparency of nonprofit organisations; and
- stimulating collaboration across the sector.
