Expanding our funding horizon for continuous innovation and community impact
As we explore new avenues, our funding model is evolving to sustain our legacy of innovation, development, and adaptability. This involves securing project funding and resources to drive fresh innovation and agile problem-solving at the community level.
Given the multifaceted nature of our work, we require diverse funding streams and models to ensure comprehensive coverage across all areas of focus:
• Development of innovations and interventions in partnership with communities
• Piloting these models, supported by data for scalability readiness and improvement
• Building capacity and supporting implementing organisations for scaling innovations
• Exploring commercialisation opportunities to support sustainability
• Maintaining sustainable core staffing and governance throughout project cycles
As the global landscape evolves, with a particular focus on the increasing needs of vulnerable children and youth, our current funding priorities include:
• Strengthening strategic collaborations with corporate partners in Africa and international donors
• Enhancing research funding through our presence in the UK and South Africa
• Expanding internal resources through Social Enterprise Development initiatives
• Cultivating relational capital in the UK to foster strategic fundraising partnerships
