PROPOSING THE ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT VIABILITYIN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Authors

Abstract

Investments in social projects have limitations when it comes to conventional indicators of economic viability. This study’s objective was to verify the applicability of a proposition regarding the use of the Net Present Value in evaluating economic viability of projects from nonprofit organizations that form their revenues through donations. As a method, this study uses bibliographic research, reflective analysis, and practical application of the discounted cash flow methodology adapted to the Third Sector, using the Monte Carlo method. The results showed compatibility of the application of the Net Present Value in the Third Sector as long as we adjust the variables incremental cash flow, working capital requirement, and cost of capital to the specificities of this segment. Hence, the simulation applied to evaluating the economic viability of a nonprofit organization reduced the uncertainties regarding future investments with added value for society.
