Project Management That Actually Works for Charities

We know firsthand what it's like to run vital projects within small to mid-size charities and social enterprises. Your passion is huge, but your resources are not. Time and time again, we see non-profits facing these critical project management roadblocks:

 

• Traditional, resource-heavy project management methods simply don't fit a lean charity budget. This often results in projects that feel poorly planned, strained during execution, and difficult to monitor effectively.

• You shouldn't have to hire a full-time PM just to run a grant project! A lack of dedicated staff or expertise in traditional methodologies can lead to projects being managed inefficiently, ultimately jeopardising their success.

• Complex, time-consuming methodologies can be a massive turn-off. It's tough to get staff and volunteers excited about new processes, leading to resistance and implementation struggles.

• The non-profit world is dynamic. Rigid, inflexible project methods make it incredibly difficult for your charity to pivot when circumstances change, often leading to costly delays or project cancellation.

• Delivering a project on time isn't enough; it has to make a difference. Traditional methods often miss the mark by focusing too much on the to-do list and not enough on the tangible impact for your beneficiaries.

​

We recognise that your unique mission, location, and the communities you serve may add specific complexities—from accessing remote resources to adapting processes for diverse cultural needs.
