Deadline: 30-Jun-25
The 4ther Firm is proud to announce the launch of “The Funding Formula”—a virtual training series designed to help changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven organizations across Africa access the funding they need to thrive.
Every powerful community movement, every breakthrough idea, and every grassroots solution needs one thing to thrive—funding. Across Africa, thousands of community-led organizations are doing life-changing work, often with little more than passion and perseverance. But passion alone can’t build schools, run programs, pay staff, or sustain long-term impact.
That’s why the Funding Formula Training Program is such a game-changer. It offers more than training—it’s a catalyst for financial empowerment.
This dynamic program is tailored for NGOs, social enterprises, faith-based groups, and community organizations across Africa that are eager to move from scarcity to sustainability.
These are groups who know the challenges on the ground better than anyone—but often lack the strategic tools to connect with the funding they need to grow.
They are overlooked in favor of larger, more polished organizations—not because they lack vision, but because they lack the systems that donors require.
The Funding Formula Program tackles this problem head-on. It focuses on what donors are really looking for—and teaches participants how to present themselves as strong, credible, and ready-for-funding partners.
You’ll learn how to build a solid funding strategy, create grant-winning proposals, structure a budget that reflects impact, and build long-term donor relationships built on trust and transparency.
But the learning doesn’t stop at writing proposals. This program also dives into how to diversify your fundraising streams. You’ll explore crowdfunding platforms, donor databases, local fundraising events, and innovative models like diaspora giving and social enterprise revenue.
These aren’t just trends—they are essential strategies that organizations across Africa are using to fuel their missions when international grants aren’t enough or come with too many restrictions.
What makes this training even more powerful is its emphasis on mindset. Many organizations operate from a place of survival, stuck in cycles of short-term funding. The program helps shift this mindset—to one of possibility, strategy, and abundance. You’ll learn how to pitch your impact, not just your needs. You’ll discover how to move from chasing grants to attracting partners. This transformation in thinking is just as important as the technical skills.
Participants also benefit from peer learning and real-life examples of African organizations that have transformed their fundraising journeys.
You’ll hear how others overcame common obstacles, built strategic donor relationships, and scaled their work in ways they once thought impossible. The program creates a supportive environment where learning is practical, inspiring, and immediately applicable.
Beyond the training, this is a chance to become part of a wider movement of African-led organizations reclaiming the fundraising space. It’s about shifting the narrative—from “we need help” to “we have solutions worth investing in.” The Funding Formula gives you the tools to back that statement with strategy, clarity, and confidence.
Applications are open until June 30, 2025. This is your moment. If you’ve ever felt that your work deserves more funding, more visibility, and more impact—this program is for you. Don’t let this opportunity pass.
Apply today, and take your first step toward a more financially empowered future for your organization and the communities you serve.
