Final announcement for Registrations on NPO Governance programme-Sixth Batch
Dear Friends,
Greetings from FMSF!
We are pleased to inform you that the online programme on NPO Governance which began in 2012 has successfully graduated four batches, while the fifth batch is in progress. The registration for the sixth batch is open and interested participants can register.
NPOs are a noted component of civil society in the various fields of social development. The emergence of NGOs as formalized, structured institutions has been relatively recent. Further, with the introduction of CSR, the opportunity for the NGO sector has increased in terms of work, outreach, funding, sustainability etc. as most of the CSR activities are being administered through private NGOs. This has also resulted to the proliferation of NGOs which are often informally organized, unaudited, and operate with little governance. One of the areas on which the NGOs are assessed is its governance structure. Thus, governance is one of the key focus areas for an organization.
With this background, we wish to inform you that the NPO Governance Programme would provide an overview of the major issues involved in NGO Governance such as;
· Various Governance mechanism in NPOs
· Governance Structures & Processes
· Roles and Responsibilities of the Board Members
· Governance Controls required for an NPO
· Common myths and misconceptions in the Governance of NPOs
The course is web-based and comprises of four modules. The course materials on all four modules can be accessed online by the students. Further the program is open to participants across the globe.
Who should apply?
o Personnel working in mid-level, senior management level positions in NGOs, resource sharing
agencies or any other development organization
o CEOs, CFOs or Executive Director of NGOs
o Individual serving in Board of NGOs, resource sharing agencies
o Consultants involved in the review and evaluations of NGOs
To register, please go to our website www.fmsflearningsystems.org
Please note that the last date to register for this Batch is 25th February, 2015. Hurry!
Best wishes,

Comparative State-wise analysis of FCRA receipts for FY 2013-14
Based on data available at FCRA site, SRRF has undertaken an analysis of FCRA returns. This shows following state-wise position of Foreign Contribution received. Total contribution received is Rs 12,930 crores for FY 2013-14. This compares to Rs 11,066 crores for FY 12-13, indicating an increase of 16.8%.
State-wise data of FCRA funds received for FY 2013-14 and FY 2012-13 with data for number of organisations who have not filed their annual return. Key findings are:
Top 5 states constitute around 66% of overall FCRA funds rec’d during FY 2013-14. Details and comparison with previous year are as follows:
Delhi : Rs 2828 crores (22% of total FCRA funds rec’d during FY 2013-14), Increase in funds over FY 2012-13 : 25%.
Tamilnadu : Rs 1752 crores (13.5%), increase in funds rec’d during FY 2012-13 : 6.6%
Andhra Pradesh (undivided) : Rs 1338 crores (10.3%), increase over FY 2012-13 : 15%
Karnataka : Rs 1323 crores (10.2%), increase over FY 2012-13: 17%
Maharashtra : Rs 1293 crores (10.0%), increase over FY 2012-13: 22.6%
However what is a matter of concern that a large number of NGOs are still not filing annual return. It is observed that of 39087 entities registered with the FCRA Dept only 16868 NGOs have filed their annual return (FC6) with the Dept, in other words almost57% have not filed the annual returns.
This is really serious since this could result in further tightening by the FCRA Dept. putting a number of genuine organisations who otherwise follow the procedures at backfoot too.
It may be noted that the above analysis is for only those organisations which are registered with FCRA Dept and does not cover organisations which have prior permission. Thus it is quite likely that the amount of FCRA funds received could increase further.
