Foundations and associations

From socially engaged party to professional organization

Foundations and associations form the beating heart of our society. They bring people together, strengthen communities, and contribute to welfare, sports, culture, and solidarity.

We see many organizations struggling with governance vulnerabilities, working with insufficient capacity, and lacking specific expertise. There is a need to secure agreements and processes so that there is no uncertainty about adequately providing accountability through the annual accounts or project reports.

The added value of Vinario

We help foundations and associations to work more professionally without losing their own – sometimes informal – character. In practice, we see that administrations have developed historically and are not always optimally structured. This creates ambiguities and increases the risk of errors. We help organizations achieve financial control by creating structure and demonstrably meeting specific conditions, for example from subsidy providers.

Examples of our services within foundations and associations:

Audit support: preparing and guiding an audit of the annual accounts or a grant accountability.
Process management: bringing structure to processes and clarifying roles, tasks, and responsibilities.
Planning & Control management: preparing multi-year plans, cash flow forecasts, and reports based on specific KPIs.
Risk management: turning uncertainty into active control of the most important risks at strategic, operational, and financial levels.
