Funding Strategy, Governance pillar

A diversified funding plan and the funders to approach first.

An 8-week FILO package that produces a diversified funding plan and a pipeline of targeted funders. For nonprofits whose revenue depends too heavily on a small number of funders, and for early-stage family foundations that need to define their targets. You get a funding plan and a prioritized list of funders.

Who it’s for

  • Your revenue rests on a handful of funders and you want to diversify before one of them pulls out.
  • Your funders ask for custom reporting and your team does not have the capacity to produce it consistently.
  • You are an early-stage family foundation that still needs to define its target funders or partners.

What you get

  • A diversified funding plan, aligned with your mission and your organizational capacity.
  • A pipeline of targeted funders, prioritized according to your profile.

How it works

  1. DiagnosticYour current revenue: sources, dependencies, risks.
  2. MappingPossible funders, foundations, governments, businesses, donors, aligned with your mission.
  3. PlanTargets, the intended revenue mix and the timeline, with a pipeline of prioritized funders.
  4. DeliveryThe plan and the pipeline presented to leadership, ready for the team to put into action.

Duration

8 weeks.

What is not included

  • The diagnostic is not sold on its own: it is built into the first phase of the mandate.
  • Operational fundraising, campaigns, solicitation and donor database management stay outside the package.
  • A stand-alone solicitation text (case for support) is not a separate deliverable: the narrative component is built into this package, while the solicitation itself remains the work of a fundraising partner.

Frequently asked questions

Does this package include soliciting funders?
No. This package produces the plan and the targeted pipeline. Solicitation and operational fundraising stay outside the mandate.
Is this relevant for a family foundation just starting out?
Yes. It is often the entry point for an early-stage family foundation, before, if relevant, an AI policy and ethics framework.
How much does this package cost?
Rates are shared during the discovery call, calibrated to your situation.
