Abstract
Non-profit organisations (NPOs) typically raise all the funds required for the project upfront. In this so-called “traditional approach”, the implementation of the project begins only when all the funds are raised, thus delaying implementation and service delivery. In order to overcome this challenge, NPOs are using a novel funding approach that Professors Sripad Devalkar, Milind Sohoni and Arora call “ex post funding”. The researchers offer guidance on how non-profit organizations can best deploy this new approach to improve the delivery of social benefits from their activities.
Professor Sripad Devalkar is an Associate Professor of Operations Management at the Indian School of Business (ISB). His research interests fall under two broad themes - agricultural operations and Non-profit and public sector operations. Within these thematic areas, he is interested in understanding issues related to supply chain management and how the interaction of operational, financial, and risk management decisions affect outcomes.
He teaches the core Operations Management course in the PGP programme at ISB, as well as, an elective course on Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
