Running a Zero Budget Program

By

Virginia da Graça and Nuno Delicado interviewed by Torrey Peace, in the Aid for Aid Workers podcast, about the zero-dollar mindset in Sport for Life.

In today’s episode Virginia da Graca and her colleague Nuno Delicado share a tremendous challenge they faced which we all fear— that is, having less funding for programming. But in this case, their funding wasn’t just slashed a few thousand dollars— it actually went from an annual budget of $77,000 to zero— yes, ZERO.

Being in this situation made them challenge assumptions about what operating costs are absolutely necessary. It also forced them to come up with creative solutions to meet their zero budget. The result? A more committed team, more committed community participants and a motivation to succeed which is contagious.

Of course I don’t expect you to dump all your funding tomorrow to be in a similar situation, but I think this episode will make you challenge your assumptions around what is possible in working with communities as well as how much can be done with a team committed to your mission.

EIB Webinar: Mistakes in Win-Win Negotiations

By

I hosted this webinar, as part of the series of webinars aimed at social entrepreneurs developed by the EIB Institute* in collaboration with Católica-Lisbon (link to the webinar page on EIB’s website).

Win-lose negotiations often generate unpleasant dynamics and poor outcomes. However, there are also many misconceptions associated with win-win negotiations. In this webinar, common mistakes in win-win negotiations were discussed in order to help entrepreneurs build awareness of them and improve negotiation results through conscious practice. The goal of the webinar was to help them get more of what they want (while building healthy relationships).

*The EIB Institute was set up within the EIB Group (European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) to promote and support social, cultural, and academic initiatives with European stakeholders and the public at large

How to Assess Impact

By

by Saerom Choi and Nuno Delicado for SportImpact

Impact assessment may not be rocket science, but it is also not the most linear process. Unlike financial accounting, there are not yet Generally Accepted Impact Assessment Principles to follow. Or “impact accountants” that we can hire to prepare our impact reports. That may explain why, while agreeing assessing impact is important, many organizations still don’t do it and hesitate to make it a true priority.
