A world of experience to guide your journey to high-value partnerships

Craig Pollard

Alongside our Global Faculty, I will share all I have learned from 30+ years of working with nonprofits, civil society leaders, and funders in 100+ countries. Together, we will find the clarity and confidence you need to take the next steps on your high-value partnerships journey. We will encourage you, and equip you with the strategy, tools, and tactics to resource your impact.

 

 

Strategy + Design

Success in high-value partnerships never happens by accident, it is always designed. These strategic design moments are rare opportunities for genuine collaborative and consultation that create spaces for new conversations, connections, change (and of course, funding).

Whether you need strategic counsel, guidance for a review of your funding programme, help to design or restructure, a roadmap for exploring and embedding a new major income stream, or advice on integration so you can go further with the funders you already have.

When you are ready to invest in your future high-value partnerships, schedule a free introductory meeting with me to check the fit before we co-design and take the next steps on your journey.

Training

During the past decade, our award-winning online courses have equipped thousands of people across Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceana, and Latin America, with relevant, real-life theory, tools, and tactics to build high-value partnerships (and grow funding). This might be the smartest investment you ever make in resourcing your future impact.

Our onsite in-person training brings together clusters of local NGOs, or trustees, leaders, and teams within engaging and inspiring workshops.  These are always tailored to you - we start where you are now, and help you bridge to your future ambition.

Our focus is on practical holistic approaches to high-value partnerships that work in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America. We bring clarity and build confidence, our time together will be enjoyable and challenging as we change minds and culture, and move together towards a common understanding and shared ownership for building holistic, high-value partnerships.

Mentoring

Mentoring distils decades of global experience and blends it with your expertise, these sessions will guide you, hold you accountable, and give you an expert sounding board to navigate/advocate your partnership opportunities and challenges.

We don't bring magical answers (or donors) but have guided the strategic funding design and decisions of hundreds of nonprofits and civil society leaders.
