Do You Know Your Overhead Recovery Rate?

One of the biggest financial challenges facing charities and CICs is recovering the true cost of delivering projects.

If you're not calculating overhead recovery properly, successful projects can still create financial pressure.

Our Financial Management Toolkit includes tools designed to help organisations understand and manage this.

Financial Management and Wellbeing

One of the biggest causes of stress for charity and CIC leaders is uncertainty.

Not knowing:

• Whether projects are sustainable
• Whether funding will last
• Whether finances are on track

Good financial management doesn't just improve compliance.

It helps people make decisions with confidence.

What Makes an Organisation Funding Ready?

Before applying for funding, ask yourself:

✓ Are our finances up to date?
✓ Do we have a clear budget?
✓ Can we demonstrate impact?
✓ Do we understand our costs?
✓ Do we have the right governance in place?

Funding readiness is about preparation, not paperwork.
