📌[Project Spotlight]

“Young Guru Academy (YGA) is a Turkish NGO dedicated to cultivating double-winged (conscientious and competent) youth to build a more hopeful future. Selected young adults participate in the YGA Leadership Programme where they receive training and work as volunteers to strengthen YGA’s technology-based social innovations and ventures. Having identified a deficit in STEM education in Turkey, YGA launched Science Movement (SM) in 2018, which consists of (i) sending science/robotic kits to identified schools; (ii) onboarding teachers onto a training platform; and (iii) identifying eligible students in participating schools for the YGA Leadership Programme. Notably, SM piloted an expansion in Kenya in mid-2020 and while metrics on efficacy in Kenya are still being collated, SM is considering deepening activities in Kenya and expanding laterally to Ghana, Rwanda, and South Africa. SM engaged GRC Sciences Po with regards to three different projects pertaining to their expansion in Africa, one of which is how an UK-registered charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) can incorporate best practices in improving recurring donations to fund this expansion. This project’s approach first segmented donors into individual, institutional, and corporate donors; followed by identifying key features that makes them favourable to seek funding from, priorities and sectors of interest, relevant projects and peer recipients in target region, as well as funding process for each group of identified donors. Essentially, the project aimed to make incoming revenues for YGA and SM more significant, stable, and predictable. Overall, YGA praised the “excellent work” that our teams demonstrated and believed that we have “added great value to [their] project”. Since the projects’ conclusion, YGA is in the midst of studying and implementing our deliverables with other stakeholders, while their UK-registered CIO has begun operations which would hopefully contribute towards covering part of their operating costs with our recommendations.”
