Insights for greater giving and impact 

Coming soon…

We asked, can we play a role in helping funders, charities and government identify gaps and work together to fund needs in the community sector? 

Why we asked… 

  1. Our understanding of sector need based on funding grant round data and charity application data  
  1. Our purpose and drive to support and facilitate sector outcomes where practical  
  1. Our assumption that funders, charities and sector agencies can benefit from collective and accurate knowledge/evidence
