A Business Mindset for NGOs. One Foundation`s Strategy in Sustainability - Master Class with Pamela Ratiu (Maastricht School of Management Romania, 2013.10.24)

In the workshop we have discussed briefly the value of sustainability in a foundation today, the difficulties existing in Romania, the lack of public sector funding and the lack of NGOs applying a business plan to foundations.  Today, unless a foundation has a sustainable business plan in place, the chances of the succeeding in meeting their goals is short lived.
Despite the vast number of NGOs in today`s Romania, few have business plans and even fewer are looking at sustainability.  Pamela Roussos Raţiu has started by reassessing their own foundations (they are actually 5 separate foundations), working with our resources at hand, as well as our strengths and weaknesses. 

Speakers:
- Pamela Roussous Rațiu, Executive Director of the Raţiu Family Charitable Foundation in Romania.
- Mădălina Mocan, Executive Director of the Democracy Ratiu (CRD).
- Ioana Rațiu-Răileanu, trustee Ratiu Family Charitable Foundation.
