NPF, an online non-profit organization, helps finance education for kids in developing countries. Founded by Steve Dawes in 2015, NPF&#39;s finances are mostly supported by online donations. But uh-oh! There&#39;s a challenge - their cash reserves are depleting fast, and donations are decreasing. Let&#39;s dive in!

<ul>
	<li>Founder: Steve Dawes</li>
	<li>Year Founded: 2015</li>
	<li>Mission: Financing education in developing countries</li>
	<li>Assets and Liabilities (2020): No debt and no non-current assets</li>
	<li>Expenses: Internet fees, maintenance of servers and computers, and a web designer</li>
	<li>Unique Point: Aims to be the 1st paperless charity 🌲💻</li>
</ul>

Steve noticed from the financial statements that the cash reserves of NPF are decreasing. This is alarming because donations, their main source of income, are dropping too. (Imagine your ice cream melting faster than you can eat it on a hot day 🍦🌞)

A popular rock band has made an offer to Steve: they can sponsor a reunion concert online. Sounds fun, right? 😎🎸 But some volunteers are skeptical. They worry about

<ul>
	<li>Spending too much money on the concert instead of helping children.</li>
	<li>Potential technical glitches due to overloaded global broadband connections. (Imagine buffering during your favorite song! 😱)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Donations are sent to educational projects one month after receiving them.</li>
	<li>95% of all donations go to these educational projects.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Define the term investment.</li>
</ul>

Investment is the allocation of resources (like money or time) into something with the expectation of gaining a profit or benefit in the future. For instance, if you buy a new gaming console now, hoping to rent it out to friends and earn money over time, that&rsquo;s an investment. 🎮💰

<ul>
	<li>&nbsp;(i) Cash Flow Forecast (June to September 2020)</li>
</ul>

For this, we need Steve&#39;s forecasted figures which are not provided. With those, we could create a table showing monthly opening and closing balances. 📊

<ul>
	<li>(ii) Comment on Results</li>
</ul>

Again, we&#39;d need the exact figures. But typically, you&#39;d look at how much cash NPF expects to have at the end of each month. If it&rsquo;s declining, uh-oh! That&rsquo;s a liquidity problem!

<ul>
	<li>&nbsp;(iii) Solutions to Liquidity Problems</li>
	<li>Cut Costs: NPF could reduce some of its expenses, like getting a cheaper web design service.</li>
	<li>Fundraising Campaigns: Launch a special campaign or collaborate with influencers to raise awareness and boost donations. Think of how some YouTube celebs rally their fans to donate to their favorite causes! 🌟📹</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Buffering Problems: Ever tried watching a popular event, say, the Olympics opening ceremony, and the stream kept stopping? That&#39;s the bandwidth issue the volunteers are worried about!</li>
	<li>Fundraising Campaigns: Movember, a campaign where men grow mustaches in November, is an excellent example. It raises awareness and funds for men&#39;s health issues.</li>
</ul>

Steve and NPF have both challenges and opportunities ahead. With the right strategies, they can ensure the charity continues to support children&rsquo;s education while maintaining financial health! 🌍📚
