There is a staggering amount of free, very helpful information online for nonprofits, NGOs and other mission-based organizations. But to access this information, you need not only an Internet connection - you have to READ IT. Using these free resources (including my favorites) takes real time, not virtual time.
The National Minority AIDS Council in the USA offers a series of free manuals in PDF ready to download. They include manuals on board development, fiscal management, grant writing, human resources, leadership development, needs assessment, volunteer involvement, strategic planning, surviving an audit and more. There are 14 "Organizational Effectiveness Series" manuals in all. Although these are focused on organizations in the USA, most are easily adaptable for organizations in other countries.
