Not-For-Profit
The Not For Profit sector operates differently to business in that it generally receives funding for programs from government and philanthropic sources rather than from commercial transactions. Even though this is the case, many of the same business principles apply to running a not for profit organisation and Acuro is experienced in tailoring solutions that improve the governance and performance of these organisations. Our work with community organisations takes us throughout the Asia Pacific region to improve access to business tools in developing economies where running a small business can have a profound impact for positive change.
