Letters | Coronavirus crisis: Hong Kong Jockey Club and other funders racing to help NGOs in need
- Non-profit operations have undeniably been disrupted by Covid-19, but times like these are a good test of our strength and commitment to our cause
- The Jockey Club has proactively helped non-profits, but non-profits must work harder as well
Non-profit operations have undeniably been disrupted, but times like these are a good test of our strength and commitment to our cause. I cannot be more grateful to everyone in our community, those trying their very best to contribute to our cause in the “new normal”.
For instance, we have frozen our headcount and my team has become more efficient in leveraging our volunteers, which will eventually generate more new insights. Although face-to-face selection interviews are no longer conducted with our hundreds of applicants, my team has devised an online system that makes our process more efficient. And, thanks to my board’s governance and insights, we have adjusted cash flow and have a reasonable reserve that can last us for some time without new donations.
