Online event

Foreign exchange volatility can have a real impact on international charities, putting programme budgets under pressure, reducing the value of grants, and creating challenges for finance teams reporting to donors and boards.But managing FX risk isn’t about trying to predict the markets. It’s about protecting budgets, giving trustees confidence, and ensuring more of your funding reaches the programmes it was intended to support.

This practical webinar delivered by Ebury will explore how INGO Finance Directors, CFOs, Treasury Managers, and Trustees can move from ad-hoc currency management to a clear, proportionate and board-approved FX framework.

This session has been developed for international and overseas charitable organisations. All CFG members are free to join this event, but if you would like to find out more about our Overseas Special Interest Group for more specific content, please click here.

Why should I attend?

You’ll learn how to:

• Make the case for FX hedging: Reframe currency management as a form of budget protection, helping boards understand the benefits without needing to become currency experts.
• Build an effective FX policy: Establish appropriate risk limits, approval thresholds, and governance arrangements for international operations.
• Explore practical hedging approaches: Compare static, rolling, and layered strategies, and understand how each can help provide greater certainty over programme budgets.
• Strengthen donor compliance: Understand how robust treasury policies can help manage FX losses, meet donor requirements, and reduce the risk of audit challenges.
• Give your board greater confidence: Create a framework that is transparent, proportionate, and aligned with your organisation’s appetite for risk.
