FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Allen + Clarke's approach to NGO support different?

Our approach combines practical solutions with capability building. Rather than creating dependency relationships, we work alongside your team to develop lasting skills. We're known for our authentic partnership approach—working with you, not just for you—and our ability to bridge the gap between government and community sectors.

How do you price your NGO support services?

We offer flexible pricing structures based on your organisation's size and financial capacity. This might include reduced daily rates for small NGOs, package pricing for defined projects, or staggered payment schedules aligned with your funding cycle. We'll be transparent about costs from the outset and can tailor our approach to match your budget reality. 

How do you ensure solutions are sustainable for small organisations with limited resources?

We design solutions with implementation and reality in mind, focusing on practical steps that match your capacity. This might include developing staged implementation plans, creating templates and frameworks that reduce ongoing workload, or identifying low-resource ways to maintain improvements after our engagement ends.

Can you work with our Board directly on governance issues?

Yes, we regularly work directly with NGO Boards on governance matters. This might include facilitating Board workshops, conducting governance reviews, supporting strategic planning processes, or developing Board capability. We understand the unique dynamics of volunteer Boards and can tailor our approach to suit your Board's composition and needs.

What if our organisation isn't clear on exactly what help we need?

This is common for the NGOs that we work with. When we work with you, we start with a conversation and investigation to understand the issues and identify how our support can create the greatest impact.

Can you help us evaluate the impact of our programmes and services?

Yes, we can provide tailored evaluations for NGO services. This can include developing practical monitoring frameworks, conducting evaluations, designing impact measurement approaches, and helping you to demonstrate outcomes to funders.

How do you ensure your advice is practical for volunteer-run organisations?

We understand the realities of working with volunteers and can design our recommendations accordingly. This means developing user-friendly resources and considering how volunteer capacity and turnover will impact on the solution. We know that your volunteers are your greatest asset, and we can adjust our normal processes to work flexibly with them.
