Endowus x Global Shapers HK | Achieving Financial Autonomy: Expert Reserves Strategies for Non-Profits
Two communities, one mission: helping non-profits build the financial resilience to focus on what matters most.
For non-profit leaders, financial discipline isn't separate from mission — it's what makes long-term impact possible. Managing reserves and investments is a core governance responsibility, not a back-office task. Yet many boards and finance teams are navigating this without a clear playbook.
That's why Endowus is teaming up with the Global Shapers Community to bring together non-profit leaders, treasury experts, and changemakers for an evening of practical, hands-on learning.
Hear directly from Dom, CFO of Endowus, as he shares first-hand strategies on treasury management built specifically for non-profits — drawing on how Endowus itself approaches financial discipline as a mission-driven organization.
What we'll cover:
Why reserve management matters. The case for treating reserves as a strategic asset, not idle cash — and what's at stake for long-term stability.
From policy to practice. The key components of an effective Investment Policy Statement (IPS), and how to move from paper to board-level action.
Expert insights on treasury strategy. Practical approaches to reserve and treasury management that free up your organization to focus on mission and resilience, straight from Endowus' own CFO.
This session is designed for board members, finance leads, and ED/CEOs across both the Endowus non-profit network and the Global Shapers Community who want to walk away with a clearer approach to safeguarding their organization's financial future.
