CBF-9 Funding, Resource & Donor Management
SHINE Children and Youth Services (SHINE) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting children, youths, and families through therapeutic, educational, and community-based programmes.
To sustain these essential services, SHINE relies heavily on stable funding, effective donor relationships, prudent resource management, and strong accountability practices.
Within SHINE’s operational resilience framework, CBF-9: Funding, Resource & Donor Management is a critical enabler function.
While it does not directly deliver frontline services, it underpins SHINE’s ability to continue operations, meet regulatory and donor obligations, and respond swiftly during periods of disruption.
This chapter outlines the key sub-functions under CBF-9. It defines the Business Unit Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO) for each Business Unit, ensuring SHINE can maintain financial stability and stakeholder confidence during adverse events.

CBF-9: Funding, Resource & Donor Management plays a pivotal role in safeguarding SHINE’s ability to deliver consistent and impactful services to children and youths, particularly during times of disruption.

By clearly defining Sub-CBFs and their respective Business Unit MBCOs, SHINE strengthens its operational resilience posture, ensuring that financial governance, donor confidence, and emergency responsiveness are maintained even under adverse conditions.
This structured approach enables SHINE to remain mission-focused, financially accountable, and well-positioned to support the communities it serves—today and into the future.
CBF-9 Funding, Resource & Donor Management
This chapter examines the Impact Area of Business Functions for SHINE Children and Youth Services, with a specific focus on CBF-9: Funding, Resource & Donor Management.
As a non-profit organisation serving vulnerable children and youth, SHINE’s ability to deliver programmes sustainably depends heavily on adequate funding flows, prudent resource management, and substantial donor and stakeholder relationships.
Assessing the impact areas of this critical business function enables SHINE to understand the potential consequences of disruption, particularly in financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational dimensions.
This analysis supports the determination of Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCO) by identifying where funding interruptions or governance lapses could compromise service delivery, organisational credibility, and long-term viability.
