Like other Nonprofit National organizations, Relief Pakistan rely on various sources to support their activities: private donations, UN Agencies (UNICEF, WFP, and UNOCHA) and USAID Small grants Programs. The mix and importance of each source generally varies by type of service, but the ability to access these financial resources is critical for creating a stable financial base for the area’s nonprofit sector. A diverse funding base is considered ideal. Reliance on any single source of funding may present problems if that source is disrupted. So, RP is determined to get broader its funding base as well as to diversify but matching with priority needs of the populations and communities to serve.
