Organizational Sustainability

The organization needs to be self-sufficient in its operations, management and governance. For Noolaham Foundation, in practice, this means that staff have the capacity for operations and management without significant volunteer input. A positive, collaborative organizational culture is built. The organizational knowledge is continuously developed, documented, integrated and transmitted to staff, volunteers and stakeholders effectively. Organizational sustainability means reducing the reliance on few core volunteers to pull the majority of the workload in governing the organization. A balanced and diverse Governance Board is essential for organizational as well as resource sustainability.

In addition, Noolaham Foundation needs to manage credibility and regulatory risks. For instance, it needs to ensure that monthly reports, project reports, audit reports and annual reports are released on time. It fairly records and recognizes the contributions of all. It respects all applicable copyright laws.
