We also provide strategic services;
We have had so many requests to share our knowledge of the funding world and help find funders for our clients. As a result, we have developed an interactive mapping software, named Ecology Mapping. These maps can provide powerful visual insights into donor networks, helping you to identify the funder universe you are a part of, find new connections to donors and benchmark your performance against peers.
With our mentoring and strategic reviews, we help you to convert your new learning into instant implementation and plan ahead with confidence. Click here to watch our recent webinar about Ecology Mapping services.

Recent Events
We would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who joined our ‘Bias Barrier’ events at the Skoll World Forum in Oxford and the Africa Centre in London.
It was fantastic to see over 60 of you from organisations like the Vitol Foundation, Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Save the Children UK come together to explore such an important topic.
For those who couldn’t make it, we hosted a powerful panel discussion on the systemic injustices in philanthropy faced by African changemakers, diving deep into the specific challenges associated with the localisation of funding.
Hosted by Beatrice Onyango from the Segal Family Foundation, the conversation covered a range of insights, but we’d love to share a few highlights.
Lydia Charles Moyo of Tanzania, founder and ED of Her Initiative shared some of the barriers faced by young leaders - especially young women - who are often seen as risks rather than trusted partners, despite their vital role in inspiring others and driving change. Benedicto Hosea of Tanzania, founder of Mboni ya Vijana, spoke about the practical challenges of proximity. His journey spans over 1,250km from Kigoma to Dar es Salaam, and thousands more to Oxford, DC, and London, where he must navigate significant cultural shifts and operate with limited resources. Pauline Picho Keronyai of Uganda, ED of Nama Wellness Community Centre offered a compelling perspective on community ownership and ‘scaling deep,’ reminding us that growth must be driven by genuine, local priorities. Jade Maina of Kenya, ED of the Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health, spoke with refreshing honesty about the cultural communication gaps between organisations and donors. In many African cultures, storytelling is deeply valued, yet long, narrative-driven approaches often clash with the concise, highly polished formats typically expected in donor spaces.
Our audience also enriched the conversation with vibrant contributions. Francoise Moudouthe, CEO of the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) sharply compared the ease with which ‘tech bros’ win big investments for half-formed ideas - a clear example of the trust gap faced by African changemakers. Francoise challenged us to rethink the very architecture of funding and how we can build stronger networks of fiscal hosts that can withstand these systemic biases.
It was a privilege to hear so many powerful stories from both donors and changemakers, and to witness such animated, authentic exchanges. The short time we had together simply wasn’t enough to cover it all, and we’re already looking forward to creating more spaces like this in the future.
