Скачать или смотреть Hannah Andrevski of Roundabout Canberra: a best practice small charity

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Hannah Andrevski, CEO and Founder of Roundabout Canberra, a charity that helps provide pre-loved baby and children items to families in need. https://roundaboutcanberra.org/

From identifying a market gap whilst on maternity leave, Hannah Andrevski takes us through her evolution as a start-up charity founder. From building good boards and the value in learning from others to utilising technology as a Not for Profit. Roundabout Canberra is truly a best practice case study for a small charity.

Without a background in fundraising, Hannah came to terms with her initial reservations about ‘asking for money’ and how she now appreciates the value charities provide is worthy of financial support. Also related to funding, we discuss balancing a mission with financial sustainability and why the organisation has avoided the common op-shop model for their donated goods. From the rapid formation of Roundabout Canberra, Hannah acknowledges the benefits of having established ‘sister orgs’ in other states to provide policy and procedural advice when starting. We also learn how Roundabout collaborates with other organisations to minimise donation waste. Finally, we hear how they used a technology grant to help them efficiently manage volunteers, inventory and orders online.

IT in Plain English
In today’s episode, Tammy explains the differences between two roles that are often confused - Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer. Although both roles are uncommon within Not for Profits due to the cost of these specialised skills, Tammy identifies the key differences in internal or external capability-building and the value they can offer your organisation, even if outsourced.
