WHISE 2017-2018 Annual Report

LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY
Growing sustainably
As reported in our Financial Accounts for 2017-2018, WHISE has again run a fiscally responsible year. Like many other
organisations in our field, WHISE sought to diversify its income and revenue streams beyond the resources provided by
our core funding to other government funding sources and increase our fee for service income through consultancy and
training (Figure 7).
Telling charities
they should
diversify their income
streams is a little like
telling football teams
they should score more
goals – much easier said
than done. “

Council for Australia
