The high-level critical business function (CBF-9) of Funding, Resource, and Donor Management encompasses a range of processes that enable SHINE to secure, allocate, and responsibly manage financial and material resources. These processes are vital not only for day-to-day operations but also for enabling SHINE to respond to emerging needs and challenges, such as expanding services or recovering from unexpected disruptions.
This chapter explores the key business processes (Sub-CBF) under CBF-9, detailing the critical steps involved in fundraising, donor management, resource allocation, and ensuring accountability. By examining these processes, we aim to highlight the strategies SHINE uses to maintain a stable flow of resources and foster long-term partnerships with donors, ensuring that SHINE can continue its mission to provide life-changing services to children and youth in need.
