2. Executive Summary

The Lee Bromley Golf Foundation (LBGF) is a “Grass Roots” initiative and “First Touch” program that introduces golf to disadvantaged children from deprived areas, with the purpose of providing them an opportunity to build character and learn important life skills, such as;

• Integrity

• Self-respect

• Courtesy

• Sportsmanship

• Confidence

• Perseverance

• Patience

• Social Integration

LBGF, a non-profit company (awaiting lodged company registration documents), is the vision of Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Lee Bromley, a professional golfer since 1994. Bromley entered into an agreement with Howick Golf Club, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in July 2013 as the Head Professional Golfer, to offer professional golf services and develop golf. Upon commencement, Bromley was astounded by the number of children living in poor conditions in the informal settlement, Shiyabazali, which borders the golf course. After a meeting with the uMngeni Mayor, the Honourable, Cllr Mbali Myeni, Bromley visited the settlement and presented an opportunity to the Headman for the children to learn golf at Howick Golf Club. After a few coaching sessions, Bromley realised that the children were learning more than just golf. A vision for using golf as a tool to provide the children with the ability to better themselves and learn important life skills was created. The Howick Golf Club Project soon proved very successful and LBGF soon realised that the model created can, and should be implemented across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

LBGF is a youth development organisation that uses the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, with age appropriate skills activities to assist in the development stages that all individuals go through, whether they are physical, emotional or social.

More than a golf learning centre, LBGF provides a positive impact on children, their families and their communities through the great game of golf. It provides the perfect framework for optimal growth, development and maturation through golf.

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

Every child is entitled to the opportunity to become the best they can be in their chosen career. It is our social responsibility to ensure that they are provided with the tools and knowledge

to make their own informed choices. Lee Bromley, Founder of the Lee Bromley Golf Foundation (2013)

3. Mission Statement

4. Objectives of LBGF

LBGF’s main objective is to enrich the lives of disadvantaged children through golf.

To enrol 2500 (two thousand five hundred) children in the first year of operations, with the launch of projects throughout KwaZulu-Natal.

Ensure the coaching philosophy and structured levels of progression are consistently managed and implemented at all LBGF Projects.

Create national and international awareness of the LBGF Projects and the coaching model.

Implement a corporate development process to align with business partners that share the same vision and looking to invest in their Corporate Social Investment.

Raise enough funding to cover Project’s activities and strategic plan. The primary financial objective is to ensure LBGF can break even, maximise cash flow and reduce financial risk.

Ensure each LBGF Project has a LBGF certified coach, mentor and assistant. Integrate non-athletic components into LBGF Projects, such as educational assistance, counselling, medical evaluation and community service.

Engage with Local, Provincial and National Government to identify new project areas, assistance in creating awareness and the development of corporate alliances, enabling LBGF to achieve enrolment targets.

All LBGF children will become members of a golf club and affiliated to the South Africa Golf Association, with official handicaps.

Produce Provincial golfers by the end of the 3rd (third) year of operation.

Implement a state of the art training academy by the end of the 5th (fifth) year of operation.

Develop and implement the LBGF specific, Long Term Athlete Development Model in the first year of operation.

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

“ To enrich the lives of disadvantaged children, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in life, through the game of golf!”

5. Keys to Success

Expand into new areas within KwaZulu-Natal to provide access to all disadvantaged children

in the province through the implementation of the LBGF strategic plan.

Secure the support of Local, Provincial and National Government, Provincial, National and International Golf Bodies.

Continue to develop the corporate alliance base and fundraising efforts to ensure financial stability of the foundation.

Ensure coaching philosophy and methodology is consistently administered in all LBGF Projects.

Implementation of a sound coaching accreditation program.

Procurement of state of the art coaching and training equipment, technology and applications.

Utilise the school system to enrol children into the foundation and compliment current schools sports curriculums.

Creation of partnerships with reputable tertiary education institutions and the set up of scholarships for LBGF children with elite skills level in academics and/or sport.

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

6. Situation Analysis

The need for youth golf programs is validated and magnified by information that attributes long-term value to children in these programs. Numerous studies document the direct value of children participating in sports. These studies demonstrate that involvement in development programs, such as LBGF, results in reducing the potential to become involved in drugs, sex, crime and gang-related behaviours. Furthermore, it gives children the grounding to build character and learn important life skills. The economic, social and personal value of investing in the lives of children produces a positive impact on the communities and country. LBGF provides opportunity that serves as a personal reference for children throughout their lives. LBGF wants to empower the children to grow up to be successful citizens and leaders in their community. Offering hope and opportunity for a better future is what drives us.

7. Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy Overview

The Hibiscus Coast Municipality is establishing a women-focussed golf academy, to identify young local talent with the intention of elevating such talent, to become key players in the sport on the local, national and international platforms.

LBGF has the required expertise and coaching model to fulfil the Hibiscus Coast Municipality’s objectives. In addition, LBGF has created a unique and innovative process to implement its comprehensive program to coach and nurture beginner golfers through all the golfing stages to elite professional golfers.

LBGF prescribes to the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model which uses appropriate training aims at each stage of an athlete’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. Producing elite level golfers is a long term process and LBGF has developed its own, effective model, using LTAD principles and taking into consideration the life and cultural styles, that makes South Africa, unique unto its own.

In order to utilise the limited seed funding, LBGF will adapt a unique approach of taking golf to the children rather than taking the children to golf. LBGF will utilise the school system to recruit students into the program and will conduct training session, initially, using the schools premises. LBGF has identified age appropriate equipment that enables coaching golf in limited space, such as school fields and school halls. This will also allow the coaching sessions to continue, as scheduled, regardless of inclement weather.

The procurement of corporate partners and alliances will ensure LBGF fulfils all its short, medium and long term goals. The implementation process of the program will be conducted in meticulous phases, aligned to the short, medium and long term goals of LBGF, as outlined below;

5

Page 8: LBGF Concept Paper - Sport for Social Development - June 2014

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

LBGF is best suited for the project of setting up the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy due to its superiority over other golf development organisations in South Africa in all aspects of youth development, including, but not limited to;

• LBGF has reached out to over 150 (one hundred and fifty) children in just 4 (four) months of operation.

• LBGF has a coaching model that is based on LTAD principles and yet simple enough for children to understand and quickly grasp the fundamentals of golf.

• LBGF teaches children how to build character and learn important life skills through golf.

• LBGF’s sound financial and operational stability plan will ensure that it achieves sustainability in a relatively short time.

• LBGF is not only prepared to develop from Grass Roots level, it is also prepared to teach in the Grass Roots environment – Taking golf to the children, therefore creating a captive audience and not expecting the children to incur additional costs to get to coaching sessions.

• LBGF’s program introduces children to golf and assists them through all the different levels and stages of their golf career, right through to professional / elite level.

8. Experience in Setting Up Similar Academies in the Past 10 Years

LBGF is the only organisation in the bidding process that has the necessary expertise and commitment to creating an efficient and cost effective model, that will ensure the development of golfers from “Grass Roots” and “First Touch” level, through to elite / professional level. LBGF believes it is the only “genuine” grass roots golf development program in South Africa and has proven success in reaching out to over 150 (one hundred and fifty) children in just over 4 (four) months.

In addition, LBGF does not believe any other golf development organisation or bidders in this tender process are prepared to initiate this project at grass root level in the disadvantaged areas of the Hibiscus Coast which entails vast travelling and possible language barriers.

LBGF has vast experience and is currently operating in all these areas, with great success.

LBGF has set up and currently manages 3 (three) golf development projects in KwaZulu-Natal, namely;

• LBGF Howick GC Project (Pilot Project) - Howick, KwaZulu-Natal• LBGF Midlands GC Project - Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal• LBGF Sobantu Project - Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal

6

Page 9: LBGF Concept Paper - Sport for Social Development - June 2014

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

LBGF is currently setting up 2 (two) more projects in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands under the guidance and assistance of the uMngeni Mayor, Honourable Cllr Mbali Myeni and the uMngeni Municipality;

• LBGF Mevana Project• LBGF Spumelele Project

Both these projects will be launched in 2013 and the projected number of children under the LBGF banner is expected to surpass 250 (two hundred and fifty), after the successful launch of these projects.

The LBGF Howick GC Project is the pilot and first project under the LBGF Portfolio. Launched on Sunday 7 July 2013 after LBGF’s Founder, Mr Lee Bromley and his friend, Mr Mlondi Mlotshwa invited children from the Shiyabazali Informal Settlement to attend free golf lessons at Howick Golf Club. Please see attached newspaper article (Appendix 1).

The children of the LBGF Howick GC Project had never held a golf club before attending the first session. There was also the language barrier to contend with. It was therefore, vital to create a coaching model for beginner golfers which was easily translated into isiZulu.

The “Steps” coaching model was created and as soon as the children mastered the 10 (ten) step process, the fundamentals were instilled and hitting a golf ball became a very easy task. In a very short period of time, within the very first session, all the children were able to consistently strike the golf ball. This, combined with enjoyable extra-curricular games made the introductory experience, to golf, a memorable and enjoyable for all the participating children.

The Howick GC Project soon became the highlight of the children’s week and at the request of the children, coaching sessions were increased from 2 (two) hours on a Sunday to 3 (three) hours on a Sunday and 2 (two) hours on a Tuesday. LBGF Directors, Mlondi Mlotshwa and Lee Bromley soon realised that the children were learning more than just golf. The children were learning valuable character building qualities and important life skills. It was decided to combine life skills with the intended golf skills. The LBGF coaching model was created and implemented.

In less than 2 (two) months, the children of the LBGF Howick Project, became very proficient in the steps (fundamentals), with the majority of the children showing very good golf skills. The children, again, requested an additional session and sessions are now held 3 (three) times a week;

Sundays 09:00 – 12:00 (3 Hours) Tuesdays 15:30 – 17:30 (2 Hours) Thursdays 15:30 – 17:30 (2 Hours)

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

The LBGF Midlands GC Project was launched on Saturday, 5 October 2013 after Midlands Golf Club approached LBGF to set up and implement a replica of the LBGF Howick GC Project at Eddels Driving Range, in Pietermaritzburg. The implementation process was smooth and efficient, due to the tried and tested model created at LBGF Howick GC Project, proving that the LBGF model can be successfully implemented throughout KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

LBGF’s expertise and experience in creating a suitable coaching model and successfully launching a second project created a influx of interest in the program. Radio stations, newspapers and golf governing bodies requested interviews and meetings to find out more information on LBGF. In just 3 (three) months, LBGF had over 100 (one hundred) registered children in its program; more than any other golf development program in South Africa had previously achieved.

LBGF was contacted about the possibility of launching a third project, based on the successes of the LBGF Howick GC Project and LBGF Midlands GC Project. The LBGF Sobantu Project was launched on Thursday 14 November 2013 and is currently in the initial “Active Start” phase. The LBGF Sobantu Project is third project in the LBGF portfolio and clearly defines LBGF as the market leader and most successful golf development organisation in South Africa, with the enrolment of over 150 (one hundred and fifty) children in 4 (four) months.

With the launch of the LBGF Sobantu Project, the LBGF Coach Development Program was also launched to ensure that each project under the LBGF banner will carry out consistent coaching ethics, techniques and LTAD principles, according to the LBGF Coaching Model.

The launch of the LBGF Mevana Project and LBGF Spumelele Project will ensure LBGF has over 250 children enrolled in the program by the end of 2013, more than any other provincial golf development agency in the past 14 (fourteen) years. After a comprehensive SWOT analysis of several golf organisations and golf development organisations, including those who may be potential bid competitors, LBGF has realised that it has the necessary drive, expertise, commitment and coaching model to produce South Africa’s next generation of golfing stars.

The Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy will benefit greatly from being part of the LBGF and, in turn, LBGF is certainly the best suited organisation to initiate and launch the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy, in partnership with the Hibiscus Coast Municipality.

This partnership will not only ensure the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy is successful in achieving its objectives, but it will also provide the opportunity for future projects, corporate alliance developments and instrumental in changing the lives of disadvantaged children. The synergy between Hibiscus Coast Municipality’s objectives of unearthing young talent to become top players and LBGF’s coaching model, and the implementation of LBGF’s coaching model throughout KwaZulu-Natal, provides the perfect platform to create a unique and successful breeding ground for future generations.

LBGF LTAD Coaching Model

The Active Start and FUNdamentals phases are designed to build physical and movement skill development and general foundation, leading to typical initiation of golf specific entry programs. The next three phases (Learn to Play, Train to Play and Learn to Compete), focus on the sport specific aspects of golf and initiate the importance of competition play. The Train to Compete phase focuses on the high performance expectations, attention to detail and comprehensive evaluation / review process. The following phases (Train to Excel and Excel) focus on the process of ascent to the highest level of competitive play.

LBGF Coaching Plan – Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy

LBGF will utilise its comprehensive and meticulous coaching model to ensure all enrolled students are given the best possible opportunity to excel in golf and in life.

The implementation of LBGF’s coaching plan for the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Golf Academy does not require a highly technical golf coaching facility or the use of private golf facilities. It will focus on getting as many girls into the program as possible, using the current school infrastructure and providing a “fun” introduction to golf, in the children’s environment. Agreements with private golf facilities will be negotiated and entered into, for future use, as and when the girls have progressed to the required level of competence. A state of the art, High Performance Golf Centre for the Hibiscus Coast Women’s Academy will be a medium to long term goal and will form part of LBGF’s “Corporate Alignment Process.”

LBGF’s coaching plan is simple, but highly productive and certainly cost effective;

11. LBGF Project and Marketing Plan

11.1. Organisation Summary

LBGF is a non-profit, youth development program serving children from the age of 3 years old, in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa. The focus of the program is to promote healthy development in children, by providing them with the opportunity to build character and learn important life skills through golf.

LBGF is currently based at Howick Golf Club in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa where the pilot project and coaching model was created and implemented. LBGF has successfully implemented the coaching model in 3 (three) projects;

LBGF Howick GC Project LBGF Midlands GC Project LBGF Sobantu Project

11.2. Marketing Strategy

LBGF strives to be the premier “Grass Roots” initiative and “First Touch” program for children in South Africa. The marketing strategy serves to successfully communicate the unique value LBGF offers children and corporate partners. This strategy reflects the focus of the benefits to, not only the children, but the communities in which these children live. The marketing strategy will continue to identify the needs of the market and communicate with this audience in the most effective and positive manner.

Continuous efforts will be made to understand how LBGF can maintain the quality and integrity of our program within the financial resources provided by the community of donors and supporters. The LBGF “Brand” will become globally synonymous with youth development and enriching the lives of future generations.

The growth strategy is based on continued attention to the quality of the experiences and opportunities for the children, in conjunction with identifying opportunities to expand the participation of programs through KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

KwaZulu-Natal by 31 August 2014 and enable their parent/guardian to appreciate the value of the LBGF experience for their child.

Create awareness for LBGF on a national and international platform, allowing corporate partners to enjoy numerous and unique benefits for their corporate social investment.

Fund raising efforts to acquire the financial resources to meet the objectives and ensure expansion of the projects reach.

Create strategic alliances within Government to provide the appropriate platform to ensure LBGF becomes the premier and preferred youth development organisation.

Promote the coach training accreditation program and attract individuals to become coaches, mentors and assistants at one of the LBGF projects.

Education of all sectors of the community and promote LBGF’s strategy pyramid.

A broad variety of experiences to Self Develop, Build Character and learn important Life Skills

11.5. MARKETING AND FUND-RAISING PLAN:

The LBGF Marketing and Fund-Raising Plan includes fundamental elements that will ensure LBGF is constantly planning, sourcing required funding and creating awareness. These elements include;

Creating and constantly networking, allowing LBGF to keep informed about what is going on within the corporate social investment sector and developing connections.

Ultimately, LBGF will form a partnership with a consultant or organisation who will take on scouting and tracking opportunities that may be available to LBGF.

Create associations and partnerships with other like-minded non-profit organisations.

Ensuring LBGF is appropriately positioned to secure, or at least apply for funding and assistance.

Build relationships with Local, Provincial and National Government.

Diversifying funding to ensure LBGF is not completely dependent on one form of support.

Stick to the mission with consistency and create a local base of support.

Develop a plan for financial sustainability which is intricately linked with the idea of institutionalising LBGF and its program as a whole.

12.2. Project Management

While all the projects will be co-ordinated from Head Office, each project will implement the LBGF coaching curriculum independently, according to the progress of the children, but with time-based targets. Each project will have the following minimum structure;

The Head Coach of each project is responsible for the operations of the project and will be required to report weekly to Head Office. The Head Coach will be supported by a Mentor and Assistant Coach, who in turn will be responsible for training an apprentice, who is either a volunteer or an aspiring coach.

The Head Coach will be accredited as a Level 3 LBGF Coach, being an individual who has completed the first 3 levels of LBGF coaching curriculum.

The Mentor will be accredited to Level 1 LBGF coaching and will have the added responsibility of the welfare of the children both at home and at school. The mentor will have to submit individual reports for each child in the project on a monthly basis.

The assistant coach will be an accredited Level 1 LBGF coach and will assist the Head Coach with sessions and the LBGF coaching curriculum. The assistant coach will also act as a translator for effective communication between the Head Coach and the children.

12.3. Coach and Mentor Development

All project employees will be required to complete the LBGF Coaching and Mentoring Accreditation Process.

Each coaching level is based on the progressive levels that children will reach as they benefit from the LBGF experience. Each level is more advanced and requires coaches to evolve with the children in their project. The curriculum in each level, not only covers the golf coaching aspect, but also requires the coach to be just as competent in the life aspect, including the emotional and mental stage a child may be experiencing.

LBGF expects the coaches to consistently deliver LBGF’s coaching philosophy and, as the children are expected to grasp the opportunity to be the best they can be, LBGF expects coaches to also want to progress through all the levels of coaching accreditation to become the best coach they can be.

From the volunteer or apprentice stage, an individual should share the vision of LBGF and want to progress through all the levels and want to manage their own project. Thereafter, the individual is expected to want to progress with the children in their project and become an Elite Coach to take the children to the highest possible level of golf and life skills growth.

12.4. Expansion Plan

LBGF’s vision has no boundaries and plans to launch as many projects as resources will allow. The current expansion is based on the ability to recruit and accredit as many coaches, mentors and assistants, as possible, in the shortest period of time. This will provide LBGF with a workable implementation and expansion model.

Each LBGF Project will be launched under the guidance and direct instruction of the Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Mr Lee Bromley. Initially, a project will conduct sessions once a week with all children being coached in the “Active Start” level and potential coaches will be given practical training before completing accreditation exams.

LBGF plans to expand throughout KwaZulu-Natal with the launch of twenty five new projects in the first year of operation, ending 31 August 2014. The simple process in Project Identification will ensure LBGF reaches this target;

• All Children are entitled to the opportunity to become the best they can be in their chosen career. It is our social responsibility to ensure that they are provided with the tools and knowledge to make their own informed choices.

LBGF has designed a simple but effective expansion process;

1. LBGF will engage with Municipalities and Local Government Youth Development Officials to present the LBGF model and obtain the endorsement of the Municipality to set up a LBGF Project.

2. Disadvantaged schools and communities will be identified and a meeting with the school principal or community head will be set up.

3. A presentation of LBGF to the school principal and/or community head. A date and time will be confirmed for the demonstration of LBGF to the disadvantaged children, to attract them to participate in the project.

4. A demonstration is held at the school or in the community.

5. Registration for the LBGF Project is completed and a launch date and schedule is set for the local LBGF Project.

Given the number of municipalities in the KwaZulu-Natal Province, LBGF expects to cover the 12 district municipal areas within a 5 (five) year period, dependent on LBGF’s resources and fund raising efforts. In order to achieve this, LBGF has to ensure that each step in the process is continuously maintained in conjunction with the Coach Development Program.

13. Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

LBGF’s monitoring and evaluation plan will enable the organisation to learn about its activities and results, as well as, support internal planning and development. Monitoring and evaluation is extremely important in the accountability of LBGF to its stakeholders, partners and corporate social investors.

The four stages of monitoring and evaluation – planning, monitoring, evaluation, using the findings – are represented as a continuous cycle. These stages will assist LBGF to:

Specify program objectives in measurable terms Identify key indicators of success Outline data collection and analysis activities Develop a timeline to monitor the success of the program on an ongoing basis.

Planning LBGF will continue to find and improve upon more efficient means of launching projects to ensure that the maximum number of disadvantaged children are given the opportunity to enrol in a project close to them. Planning will always be an important tool in developing each LBGF Project in terms of equipment, coaching programs, community and governmental involvement, to ensure that the highest level of professionalism, efficiency, proficiency, mentorship and growth is achieved at all times.

Monitoring Each LBGF project is required to submit standardised monthly reports directly to Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Lee Bromley. The use of email and internet connectivity will ensure this process is expedited in a timely and efficient manner. The continuous monitoring of the children’s progress at each project and in comparison to all other projects will ensure that complete project model is as efficient and effective as it can be. From a financial standpoint, LBGF will meticulously monitor each project’s financials and find more effective financial means of achieving objectives.

Evaluation LBGF management have a mandate to continuously improve the service offering to the children, stakeholders, government, corporate social investors and the team at LBGF. It is vital that LBGF continues to evolve with the latest management, financial, training, sports science, long term athlete development trends to ensure constant improvement in productivity. The evaluation of reports and statistics from each project will play a vital role in the process.

Use the Findings The Monitoring and Evaluation of the monthly data received from each project will be used to enhance the program as a whole. Furthermore, individual needs for each project may vary in certain aspects of the program, which can be implemented from the findings.

14. Sustainability Plan

LBGF’s innovative and strategic sustainability plan will ensure that innovative and efficient measurable elements are implemented , to produce the longevity and success of the organisation. The 7 (seven) key elements of the sustainability plan are:

Organisational Identity LBGF has distinguished and will market its organisational identity and brand. The organisation’s identity is made up of its vision, mission, and values. It tells the “story” of the LBGF and why it exists. LBGF will by identified with its leadership. Branding is the organization’s look. LBGF will become identifiable to the public through its logo and the look of its publications and other communications.

A Long-Range Strategic Plan The LBGF strategic plan speaks to the mission, vision, goals and niche of the organisation. LBGF uses this strategic plan to create an annual operational plan. The strategic plan includes the following steps: An assessment of the external environment : What are the trends in the field? What are the opportunities and threats for LBGF and its work? How LBGF can situate itself to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid the threats? How LBGF can be poised to respond to/benefit from trends in the field? An assessment of the internal environment to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of LBGF, including staffing, budget, morale, management, perception of LBGF from colleagues and funders and any other issues that may affect LBGF’s ability to take advantage of the opportunities or ward off the threats in the environment. The revisiting of the organization’s mission, vision and niche to assess whether they are still relevant. The creation of long- term goals. LBGF goals are far-reaching but attainable, and will help LBGF move towards fulfilling its mission in accordance with its values and vision. The development of quantifiable, time-lined objectives to reach each goal. The creation of benchmarks to measure progress toward accomplishing an objective.

Annual Operational Plan The annual operational plan identifies the work LBGF will undertake in the coming year, including objectives, activities and timelines. It is intimately tied to the strategic plan in that any activity LBGF will undertake in the year ahead will move LBGF towards meeting its goals and objectives identified in the strategic plan. An annual operational plan is created for each project and combined in an overall organisational operational plan. This organisational plan is used to create LBGF’s budget and funding proposals.

Financial & Systems Administration Plan The annual financial plan is LBGF’s fiscal plan of action. It includes the LBGF budget as well the conduct of a number of processes to monitor the financial health and well-being of LBGF. The Annual Budget LBGF will be a financial sustainable organisation by spending more than 75% (seventy five percent) of its revenue on program activities and less than 25% (twenty five percent) on administration. Management will identify sources of revenue to meet the budgetary needs. The funding gap (the amount needed to fully fund the operational budget) drives the fund- raising plan. The Cash Flow Analysis It is essential to know if the funds will come into LBGF in a timely manner to pay the bills and to meet the payroll as it comes due. It identifies what funds are expected to come in each month and measure that by the anticipated expenditures for each month. The analysis anticipates the cash flow for a year and will be updated every month to reflect at least a year from that time point, and will be used to identify if a cash flow shortage will arise and when. Only through this process will management be able to anticipate a cash flow problem and take steps to fix it in time. Annual Audit The annual audit is an important part of the annual financial plan and will be conducted by an independent certified public accountant (CPA). Every audit will help identify and repair any important record-keeping errors and can help build confidence among funders of LBGF’s financial health. SARS Reporting All charitable, non-profit organizations have to file certain forms with the South African Revenue Service. The annual financial plan will ensure that this is completed in an efficient and timely manner.

Long-Range Fund-Raising Plan LBGF needs a long-range fund-raising plan to maintain its sustainability. The long-range fund- raising plan helps the staff and the board to ensure that the organization will have the funding necessary to conduct its annual operational plan and to fulfil its long-range strategic plan. The long-range fund-raising plan includes steps to identify the funding needs of the LBGF, through the creation of the annual budget and the growth trajectory of LBGF. LBGF will identify and cultivate potential donors, apply/ask for funding (write grants and/or solicit individual donors) and report LBGF’s accomplishments on an on-going basis.

24

Page 27: LBGF Concept Paper - Sport for Social Development - June 2014

Enriching the Lives of Disadvantaged Children through Golf!

Annual Board Development Plan To ensure LBGF is a strong and sustainable organisation, it has a Board of Directors that is engaged in LBGF’s strategic vision and whose members are willing to help LBGF meet its programmatic and fund-raising goals. The annual board development plan will help LBGF keep its current board members engaged while cultivating new board members to fit the ever- changing needs of LBGF.

Staff Development and Organisational Culture LBGF’s staff are competent and well respected in the field. Staff development is an on-going process of investing in the individuals that make up LBGF, ensuring that each individual has the confidence and skills necessary to excel at his/her work. Staff development also means building an LBGF culture that values each staff member and creates cohesion and a feeling of team among staff members. LBGF invests in its employees, rewards initiative and competence, and provides transparency and flexibility. The staff development program includes the conduct of a needs assessment, an annual employee evaluation and review, staff training, and team- building.

Financial and Strategic Planning

Although LBGF is in the similar situation to most non-profit organisations, whereby it needs to raise “as much as possible, as soon as possible”, it also understands the minimum it must raise to achieve its proposed objectives, related to fulfilling its respective missions and covering administrative costs.

As LBGF grows, it will maintain focus on long range objectives while dealing with day to day management issues. Effective planning is the prerequisite for accessing available local and international funds. LBGF focuses on the carefully prepared budget rather than implementing a projected financial plan for the first year.

A financial plan operates in the basis of scenarios, ranging from the minimum feasible to the ideal and basically, consists of projected expenditures, with the organisation’s potential to generate the income to cover such expenditure. Therefore, LBGF will focus on the financial requirements for each project individually on a minimum basis, based on the pilot project. Funding for each project will be sourced from within the project’s relevant, local corporate community initially, before exploring provincially and nationally.

Income Diversification

At least 60% (sixty percent) of LBGF’s overall budget must come from at least five different sources, to ensure that a large portion of the budget does not depend on one partner. In a scenario such as this, LBGF becomes seriously jeopardised if there are any changes in the partner’s decision and it can induce a major crisis.

Sound Administration and Finance

The management of resources is as essential to achieving financial sustainability, as knowing how to generate income. LBGF has efficient procedures for administration and finances, which are governed by a series of institutional policies, to ensure transparency in fiscal management. Moreover, these procedures allow LBGF to anticipate the organisations financial standing and, ultimately, make appropriate decisions in a timely manner.

Accounting and administrative procedures fit into LBGF’s needs. Regardless of their scope and structure, these procedures record LBGF’s transactions, ensuring the ability to visualise the organisation a whole.

Own Income Generation

LBGF will diversify its sources of revenue through the generation of its own income. This unrestricted income will be generated through innovative means, such as;

Contributions to a trust or endowment fund – The objective of the trust fund is to benefit from the interest generated by the capital. The capital remains untouched and its value maintained or increased over time.

Fundraising for institution building or operations – Donations from individuals, corporates or agencies willing to make contributions in support of the institutional development of LBGF. Theses donations may be given in the following ways;

Helping LBGF to increase its income generation capacity whether by hiring new staff, acquiring computer systems or the initial investment necessary to implement an income-generation project, etc.

increase equity, whether by building infrastructure or building up an endowment fund.

contributing unrestricted funds for a specific time period. Such funds are usually provided to an organisation when it starts up operations to allow it to achieve a degree of financial stability until such time as its project volume increases.

Income Generation through Public Contribution – Solicit public support for LBGF. There are many ways to approach the public, including;

Offer membership in the Lee Bromley Golf Academy to support the LBGF. Organise golf events and other events on which the public attend and/or

participate. Solicit donations in public campaigns. Solicit corporate contributions in exchange for tax deductions, image, group

membership of the LBGA or a combination of these.

Income Generation through the Sale of Goods and / or Services - This income- generating strategy exists in many forms. It can be as simple as the sale of promotional products, or as complex as offering professional consulting services in a particular field. Online services is another method of soliciting these products and services.

Income Generation through Financial Management – LBGF will implement this income-generation technique by the appropriate, strategic management of LBGF’s assets, in order to maximise their financial potential. For instance, property that is not being used can be rented, bank accounts can be transferred to interest-bearing accounts until the funds are needed, or unused assets which retain some market value can be sold.

Income Generation through Corporate Alliances – Cause-related marketing alliances with corporates. Commercial activities where LBGF partner with corporations to market an image, product, or service with the purpose of obtaining a mutual benefit. The corporate achieves a good public image, sells more products or services and LBGF raises funds to carry out its mission. Funds received could be a percentage of sales and / or a specific amount.
