Abstract
Factors affecting financial sustainability on non-governmental issues have been a live topic as presented by literature and the inconsistencies in findings therein. The study sought to determine factors influencing financial sustainability of NGO in Samburu central. The target population of the study was NGOs in Samburu central. The target population was 14 local NGOs in Samburu central. Purposive sampling was used to select 5 employees from each NGO giving a sample of 70 respondents. The study was based on primary data. The data was collected through a structured and unstructured questionnaire. Content validity index (C.V.I) was used to establish whether the questionnaire measured what it was to measure. Test-retest reliability was done where Cronbach's Alpha was used to measure reliability. The data was analyzed with the use of Microsoft Excel tools. To determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables the study used regression analysis. The results were presented using pie charts, graphs, and tables. The study's limitation was mainly limited access to data due to limited research on financial sustainability of non-governmental organizations in Samburu central. The study found that the respondents indicated that donor relationship management, income diversification and financial management affected financial sustainability of their firms. The study concludes that donor relationship management, income diversification and financial management positively affect financial sustainability of NGO in Samburu central. The study further concludes that local NGOs in Samburu central are financially unsustainable. The study recommends adoption of proper financial management practices and establishment of income generating projects. The study recommends further studies on other factors affecting financial sustainability of NGOs in Samburu central.
