Webinar - Project Management for Community Organisations
2025-08-28 13:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Community boards often receive funding for specific one-off projects that are within scope of their strategic objectives but may not fall under the annual operational plan or budget. Boards may also develop projects to investigate an area of concern or solve a problem in the organisation. In these situations, it’s important for organisations to be able to understand the roles of the board and of management in ensuring the project is managed appropriately in terms of inputs, outcomes and compliance.
Project management is different from day-to-day operations because projects involve multiple stakeholders, are temporary, and have measurable outcomes.

This session will cover:

The role of the board in project management

Strategic planning
Strategic alignment
Risk analysis
Budget
Monitoring
Impact evaluation
Compliance

The role of management in project management

Day-to-day management
Risk management
Delivery
Reporting

– Coaching and training in a number of valuable skills including media, digital and social media, strategy development, team culture and wellbeing, community organising, and intersectionality
– Support to increase monitoring and evaluation skills to build the evidence base of their work, assisting with securing ongoing sustainable funding for long term change.
FYA will prioritise funding for:
– Grassroots campaigns, projects, organisations and movements. By grassroots, we mean campaigns, projects and movements that are based in community and not attached to a large organisation
– Current funding: Campaigns/organisations who don’t currently have much funding or funding opportunities
– Lived experience: Organisations, communities or campaigns that are led by people who have lived experience being disabled or LGBTQI+, of poverty, of racism, of gender discrimination, being in the justice system, state care, mental health system, impacts of climate change and/or housing instability.

AI has triggered a metamorphosis in how organisations in every industry operate, and NFPs are no exception. AI presents exciting opportunities to improve donor outreach and enhance service delivery. But it has also introduced a host of new ethical considerations we need to navigate.
