About the Paper
Sustainability planning is vital for ensuring long-term financial stability and organizational resilience in the non-profit sector. This Teaching Paper introduces a Sustainability Planning Worksheet that guides organizations in analyzing revenue streams, identifying financial risks, and planning for sustainable growth. Each section of the worksheet is explained with practical guidance and real-world application, helping non-profits diversify income, mitigate risks, and align growth with mission objectives. A case study from Thailand demonstrates how a small NGO used the worksheet to reduce donor dependency and enhance resilience. With reflection questions and practical tips, this resource supports both academic exploration and practitioner application.
