Embrace Finance Academy
Small Charity Finance Leadership Programme
In a world of increasing uncertainty, financial resilience is no longer optional — it's essential.
This short, focused programme is designed specifically for leaders of small charities who want to strengthen their organisation's long-term financial health.
Grounded in Cranfield School of Management’s definition of organisational resilience — the ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruption — this programme will help you understand what financial resilience means in practice and how to achieve it.
We begin with a pre-recorded session introducing key principles and core concepts, followed by four live, online workshops that will guide you through:
- Anticipating the financial future
- Preparing for financial uncertainties
- Adapting the business model
- Responding with metrics and a simple plan
Through practical tools, peer learning, and specialist small charity focused input, you'll come away with the principles and practical tools to navigate financial uncertainty and build a more resilient future for your charity.
