How to fund a movement
Index | Our Sponsors | Our Friends | 1% for the Environment

In this competitive project-to-project world of funding, there is an overwhelming need for a new collaborative approach.

Here is what We Conserve offers:

Just Starting Capacity Building: an opportunity for organizations to apply jointly for funding support to build the organizational capacity to deliver conservation solutions through issue-based hubs with lead organizations.
 
Getting Going Collaborative Campaigns:  collaborative fundraising in support of strategic campaigns to achieve measurable results, either with respect to widespread adoption of an individual conservation solution, or an integrated community greening campaign.
 
Fully Deployed Movement Funding:  the best opportunity for growing the environmental sector lies in the development of a "united conservation appeal", to combine issue-based leadership with community-oriented delivery.

Movement funding is only possible when there is the infrastructure in place to both raise and distribute funds effectively.  The quickest way to establish this infrastructure is through community conservation networks and issues hubs (see How to Build a Movement).

Funding Matters
For more information of funding trends in the not-for-profit sector, see Funding Matters, a 2003 report from the Canadian Council on Social Development. It documents the trend in funding from mission-based core funding to short-term, project-based funding and the resulting stress on the voluntary sector.
