Community is the multiplier. 🌍

In places where people feel strongly connected to their community, giving runs at three times the rate of places where that connection is weak.

In Kenya, over 800 mango farmers proved it, pooling their own money to rebuild a juice cooperative that now supports the whole community. But also closer to home where people do not wait for the government to fix things - when they believe it is needed, they will take immediate action.

So what if you invest in the relationship with your donors? Small, large, close to your work or a further away. What if you can give them a real sense of belonging?

Real generosity starts with real belonging.

What do you do when traditional funding is shrinking?

That's the question we put to the room at "Funding Forward," a conference we organized in Kigali, Rwanda last week.

The trend is real. Traditional donors are pulling back or moving toward bilateral relationships. But it's not the whole story. New donors are entering the market, and emerging funding mechanisms are growing faster than traditional funding is disappearing.

Han walked 60 INGO country directors and the Rwanda Governance Board through our latest funding trend research, and the room ran with it, discussing what these shifts actually mean for civil society in Rwanda.

The takeaway: a sector that left more connected than it arrived, armed with research backed insight and best practices worth putting into action.

Trust changes everything. 🤝

People who trust charities are 4x more likely to give, and 3x more generous when they do (CAF World Giving Report 2026).

The fix isn't complicated. Donors want two things: clarity on how you operate, and a clear picture of your impact. Tell that story well and generosity follows.

In this training, we’ll unpack the essentials you need to enter (or re-enter) this market with confidence.

Why timing matters more than proposal quality in Europe. European fundraising isn’t won at the proposal stage.

In many cases, priorities, partnerships and directions are already taking shape before a call opens. By the time you start writing, the real window may have passed.
That’s why strong NGOs still lose funding — not because of weak proposals, but because they entered too late.

👉 We break this down in our Fundraising in Europe (for non-European NGOs) training from 26 January to 28 January.

One topic keeps coming up in our client work this year: unrestricted funding.

With traditional donors cutting budgets and individual and corporate giving flattening, the need for flexible, “free” funding is higher than ever. Organizations need space to test ideas, make mistakes, learn, co-fund new opportunities, and build reserves for the tougher years ahead.

We see that very few donors offer unrestricted support to new partners — but there is real room to negotiate better, longer-term, and more flexible conditions with your current donors. That’s where trust is built. And trust is the foundation for securing unearmarked funding later on.

Together with Prof. Dr. Pamala Wiepking (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, we developed a handbook that helps organizations take practical steps in this direction.

If you don’t have it yet, we’re happy to share it.

Sweden just announced it will phase out development assistance to Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Mozambique, Liberia and Bolivia. Around SEK 10 billion (USD 1.1 billion) will be redirected to Ukraine from 2026 onwards. Humanitarian aid stays in place, but long-term bilateral programmes will end.

For partners in these countries, this means immediate uncertainty: fewer multi-year commitments, gaps in 2026–2027 pipelines, and pressure to diversify fast. Organisations that relied on Swedish support for stability or co-funding will feel this soon.
If you work in these countries and need to explore alternatives, feel free to reach out to us.
