This is a list of each potential type of funding that may accessible for those seeking co-investment.

As a corporate fundraiser, do you ever wonder where to begin searching for co-funding or co-investment with agencies like DEG, JICA, FCDO, DFC or others?

This overview is meant to give you parameters for determining which agency/ies are best for your fundraising needs.

Each descriptor will include criteria to work with them, plus outreach recommendations.

This is non-exhaustive but rather a sampling of what potential funding models are available to companies that wish to leverage their existing resources into impact programs, some with the support of other funders, others on their own.

I analyzed a dataset of 381 organizations and found that more than 200 of them were not actively providing non-grant capital OR were purely impact investors. I was therefore left with 115 that I could look to as examples of philanthropic funding organizations making repeatable non-grant investments in their grantee partners’ work.

This summary is meant to provide a snapshot of that data, lay out several case studies, and highlight the role catalytic capital is playing in philanthropy.
