The other day a client said to me "For the past ten years we have lived on a gravy train which has now stopped dead in its tracks - if we thought it was tough then, its just become 100 times tougher now!". This got us to thinking about our first blog, what Mark Freeman and Associates aspires to, and why we are working here - to assist not-for-profit organisations and ensure that they are working as effectively and efficiently as they can.
Over the next few months we will start to provide the sector with ways in which they can generate more money and ensure they are receiving the most return for their money.
We will start to look at social media, corporate partnerships (which are not just asking for a hand out) to ways in which not-for-profits can work more closely together without losing their identity.
We will also be looking at the issues the sector is facing and ways that they can be addressed and perhaps solved - although some of our approaches may not be everyones cup of tea! Of course, in this day and age there are many types of tea available so hopefully there is something here for everyone!
Please pass on our details and our blogs as you see them...and we look forward to your feedback.
