GET INVOLVED AS A FUNDER
JOIN US IN REIMAGINING THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE
We know that funders want to do more to reach underserved communities who are currently excluded from the funding landscape. We also know that this can be challenging due to their current infrastructure, lack of capacity or knowledge.
We can support you to deliver, test and learn from new ways to disseminate funding using The Giving Lab model that we have co-designed over 18 months, and built, tested and learnt from over years.
WHY COLLABORATE WITH THE GIVING LAB?
The Giving Lab model can be adapted to meet the unique needs of people living in different places. Our approach is rooted in building meaningful relationships that are based on mutual trust and deep understanding. With support from our local community connectors, we’re able to reach communities farthest away from the funding landscape, creating space for them to come together and collectively shape ideas that address local health challenges in their area, while our facilitators with lived and learnt experience support them to turn their ideas into reality.
Through our partnership with The Wellbeing Protocol, we've been able to make the process more inclusive, effectively devolve decision-making power to our community, and strengthened transparency and accountability back to the community.
What really sets The Giving Lab apart is our ability to build trust, adapt quickly and implement our learnings in real-time, allowing us to deliver an effective funding model that accommodates the needs of all stakeholders.
“It starts with acknowledgement. Funders should be asking themselves: How does this community interact socially? What are their concerns? Is there any community work they’re already involved in? Who are the influencers within their circles?”
