Financial capital for non-profit organizations refers to the financial resources and assets available to an organization so it is able to either gather the resources they need or pay for what it needs in order to provide the services and products of the organization. Non-profit organizations generally raise financial capital through sources such as donations, grants, sponsorships, contracts, Requests for Proposals
(RFPs) and various fundraising activities.
Richard Larsen, MSc, a Community Development Officer with Alberta Culture and Community Spirit, focuses on building the capacity of individuals and groups to achieve their goals and accomplish their projects. With twenty-six years of experience working with a range of communities; rural, northern, ethnic, aboriginal, government and urban organizations, he identifies ‘what’s working’ and finds ways to replicate that. Richard also has an active role as a volunteer in his church and community, and is an organizer and sponsor of humanitarian efforts in the developing world.
