Financial Business Case for a Not-for-Profit Organization
1.
Select either an existing NGO or Not-for-Profit entity that you think should be created or expanded (domestically or internationally)

6.
Prepare a three-year annual pro forma Activity Statement and Balance Sheet (spreadsheet with supporting assumptions)

8.
Create scenarios for two possible investments and using discounted cash flow analysis evaluate each scenario
9.
Identify two of the greatest risks that non-profit faces and assess their implications on financial performance using sensitivity analysis on your pro forma financial statements
Be sure that you include recommendations and that your project and that your memo “tells a story” (don’t just string together the analyses)
Your paper should be no more than 10 pages double-spaced (excluding exhibits) and presentations should be limited to eight well-thought out slides.
