“…The statistical implication of this result is that at 0.05 level of significance, a unit increase in commercial activities by NGOs significantly enhances their sustainability by just 0.041 units. The findings by Besel et al (2011), Herzer andNunnenkamp (2013), Khieng (2014), Abdullahi and Baba (2016), and Ali and Kilika (2016) lend credence to this, in that their studies empirically established a positive correlation between private donor funding and NGO sustainability. This is in contrast to Kerlin and Pollak (2011) who discovered that diversification of financial sources is one of the pillars of the resource mobilisation strategies.…”

“…The traditional, dominant, and most common form of NGO financing is private contributions (Khieng, 2014;Kangiri, 2015). Private contributions represent funds that NGOs gather for efficient performance and implementation of their programme and operational activities (Khieng, 2014;Abdullahi and Baba, 2016). This funding strategy is very useful to NGOs' work, primarily because it mobilises funds from different sources/donors, encourages engagement with different problems, and proposes activities that considerably contribute to improving and promoting the development of the community in which they operate (Khieng & Dahles, 2015).…”

“…There have been limited studies on resource mobilisation strategies and sustainability of NGOs across the globe within the past few years. The few available studies were conducted in Cambodia (Khieng, 2014), in South Africa (Abdullahi & Baba, 2016), in Nigeria (Adeyeye, 2016), in Kenya (Koech, 2017), and in Ghana (Benedict & Richard, 2020) and only focused on the role NGOs play in the development of the economy. To the best of the researchers' knowledge, no or few studies have conducted a study on financial resource mobilisation strategies and sustainability of NGOs in Africa, especially Nigeria.…”

Background The challenge facing NGOs in most developing countries is the need to emerge as valuable forces that affect development in order to improve the living conditions of the people in several communities. Funding is necessary for the survival and development of these NGOs. Research aims: This study, therefore, sought to find out the efect of financial resource mobilisation strategies on the sustainability of NGOs in Nigeria, with particular reference to the Minna metropolis. Research aims The purposive sampling technique was used to select 118 staf from 50 NGOs as a sample size for the study. Three alternative hypotheses were raised to be tested at P<.05 and a structured questionnaire was adopted for data collection. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and the Ordinary Least Square method of estimation. Methodology The result revealed the existence of a statistically significant and positive relationship between private contributions and the sustainability of NGOs, a positive but insignificant relationship between commercial activities and sustainability of NGOs, and an inverse relationship between government funding and sustainability of NGOs. Findings The study established that private contributions affect the sustainability of NGOs to a very large extent; government funding does not improve the sustainability of NGOs, and commercial activities do not have a significant impact on the sustainability of NGOs. Consequently, the study recommended that management and staf of NGOs should create more awareness about their operations in order to attract better contributions from private individuals and organisations.
