Institutional funding opportunities & strategies during Covid-19MzN International
What are institutional donors doing in response to Covid-19?
What are their priorities and strategies?
What does that mean for funding for contractors and implementers?
What funding opportunities do exist and how are current funding opportunities impacted?
The most protracted, complex and pressing problems we have in the world today need innovative solutions, sustained over time. That does not match a donor template. Most organisations tackling these problems need a better business model.

This is a presentation that I gave recently on a brands' perspective towards funding environment or other social causes. Two key arguments of the presentation are a) these days brands tend to put their money into causes aligned with the overall strategy of the brand and b) that there is a lot of competition for that funding. Like most of my presentations, this one needs a talking head to explain the individual slides. I have tried to reduce this need slightly by putting a commentary sentence at the bottom of several of the slides.

The National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System) is engaging people with nature through education and outreach programs. Numerous educational tools have been designed, developed and implemented successfully. A great number of people still do not understand who the Refuge System is (the identity) and its purpose (why). This is particularly true for under-served communities. Strategic communications and marketing principles can form a framework to guide the development of targeted education and outreach tools. The intent of this project was to develop an engagement strategy that includes messages, tactics, and actions by using communication principles to help Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge become an effective member of the Latino community.

Global Branding: Building a Community of Brand EnthusiastsKantar
2010 Corporate Image and Branding Conference: Emerging Opportunities in the Era of Social Media. Nigel Hollis presents: “Global Branding: Building a Community of Brand Enthusiasts”
For our NGOs and International Organizations to not only survive but thrive, we need to change the way we are funded and improve the way we work. We need to manage our organizations better, be more agile, and need to diversify funding to make them more robust.
In this webinar, we reflect on 10 years of transforming non-profits into agile and better-funded changemakers. We identify five essential attributes that have made some MzN partners successful and thrive through times of crisis. We look ahead to see what leaders can do now to create organizations that deliver profound impact and advance in a disrupted world.

Anshu Gupta: Creating a Parallel Economy with Reused Materials
Founder and Director of GOONJ.org
April 30, 2013, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
Anshu Gupta, an Ashoka and Schwab Fellow, shared his experiences creating a cultural change - conscious giving, not thoughtless dumping - and how he came to lead one of the world's largest civic participation movements. He is the founder of GOONJ.org, a social enterprise that has created social innovations to address critical gaps in the developing world. Making clothing a matter of concern in the development sector emerged as his life's calling with GOONJ.
Considered one of the leading social enterprises in India, GOONJ, is focused on under resourced areas in development work; whether its clothing for the poor, cloth sanitary pads for women, or school materials for children. The organization is addressing the growing gap between prospering cities and rural villages, by moving resources from the former, who discard it as waste, to the later, for whom it is precious.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

1. Prove It: How the Gates Foundation Ties Strategy to Results Schwab Charitable Philanthropy Speaker Series Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership Haas School of Business Jodi Nelson, Interim Director Emily Parker, Sr. Strategy Officer Impact Planning and Improvement September 30, 2010
82. Impact evaluation purpose: demonstrating effectiveness of a model/approach, good for replication, informing the field, testing assumptions to check strategy
Strategies must be developed, tracked and measured, reviewed, and adjusted based on data. This shows the strategy business processes (measurement is implied): create the strategy, review it annually, “refresh” it periodically when a major course change and fresh look is needed. **********Development – New area of work. After period of learning. Not very common. Coming up – Urban Poverty (increase income of slumdwellers by helping them organize and develop income opportunities e.g, wastepicking).Review – annual. Every strategy every year, with the CEO, presidents, co-chairs and team. Purpose – for the team to shareWhat’s working/what’s notChallengesLessonsCourse corrections (areas of adjustment)Critical issues they’d like feedback onRefresh. Would like to drill in here. Development and refresh are closely linked – nearly the same process. How does the foundation develop a new strategy, or refresh one that already exists? What process and set of analyses do teams follow? Note this is done every 3-5 years.
These are analytical tools to facilitate reasoning, analysis, consideration of alternative solutions, help us understand the critical role of other players and clearly articulate our role. Ultimate goal - create realistic, but ambitious strategies that can be implemented and measured. Opportunity mapTool to open the thinking, find creative ideas, challenge assumptionsProblem may be segmented by geography, end beneficiary, disease state, etc.Typically a precursor to developing a TOC2. TOCIncludes an explicit goal statementShows all the critical “levers” and causal links to achieve the goal, not just what we will doHelps ground our actions in the big picture (what others must do)Should stand on its own (i.e., be self explanatory)Right level of granularity important 3. TOAMust overlay on the TOCMade up of initiatives and sub-initiativesAs a companion to or part of the TOA, important to also state what we won’t do, and whyWhen done well, reveals risksAlso – solution leverage -- How and to what extent will the choices we make position us to achieve scale?
Start with an anecdote – real donor terms of reference for an evaluation in Northern Uganda. Community economic development program Few years, $10 million TOR read: evaluate impact program has had on economic development in the region, conflict prevention and welfare in the target communities. Time: 18 days. Shows how measurement can be difficult for many reasons – not just the sheer act of doing it, but understanding what it is, what it can and cant do, the kind of knowledge that can be produced by collecting data, the limits to that knowledge and reality on the ground Example of no common understanding of language, no purpose in mind probably – donor in this case – were they holding the organization accountable for conflict prevention in No U?
We use these categories to help teams within the foundation to think about what results (output, outcomes: coverage), and how (with/without attribution; shorter term feedback) they should measure above the grant level – trying to identify their strategic intent for a cluster of grants, where you can and can’t add up….
- Putting it all back together – the theory to the practice – we still have more questions than answers. On Develop/refresh strategy: How do we identify, articulate and evaluate alternative paths to impact? On Track Progress: What results do we aggregate? What are the most promising interventions to evaluate? On Review strategy: How do we adjust our strategies while maintaining continuity in our partnerships? On Learn, Adapt, Improve: How do we keep the bar high and hold people accountable for results, while leaving room for failure and learning?
