The program focused on practical collaboration and high-level strategy, with Venture leading two specialized sessions:

• Diversifying Revenue Streams

Our Executive Director, Ms. Pinky Medina, led a discussion into debunking common fund raising myths and misconceptions. She shared actionable strategies for Philippine nonprofits to move beyond a single-source income model, exploring a healthy mix of grants, individual gifts, and earned income to build long-term resilience.

• Emerging Trends in Nonprofit Finance

In this session, our Deputy Executive Director, Ms. Kiel Fernandez, teamed up with Myriad USA to unpack the global shifts reshaping the sector. The discussion explored how organizations can embrace data-driven decision-making to guide resource mobilization while navigating the evolving expectations of modern donors. A significant portion of the conversation also centered on the critical role of Data Privacy and Cybersecurity, including practical cybersecurity hygiene tips that apply to any nonprofit organization.

One of the most valuable parts of the workshop was the panel discussion. Participants brought fresh perspectives and "on-the-ground" examples to the conversation, allowing the group to reflect on how to apply these global financial trends to the unique context of Philippine CSOs.

We extend our sincere thanks to PCNC, PICPA, and the PICPA Foundation for their continued trust and for spearheading these essential capacity-building programs.

The energy in NCR was incredible, but we’re just getting started for 2026! We are officially taking the Financial Stewardship training on the road to reach even more development workers across the country. We look forward to seeing you from June 24–26 for the Davao batch and July 15–17 for the Cebu batch. 

Together, let’s continue advancing financial stewardship and resilience in the Philippine nonprofit sector.
