Celebrating social sector funding champions
Alliance magazine is proud to launch a new interview series in partnership with Propel Philanthropy and WINGS. This is a first-of-its-kind attempt to spotlight the visionary funders who drive systemic change by supporting individual ecosystem builders and Social Impact Infrastructure Organisations (SIIOs)—the essential backbone of the social sector. Throughout the series, we’ll explore:
- What type of impact are these funders achieving?
- How do SIIOs contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future?
- What critical roles have SIIOs played during pivotal moments, such as the COVID-19 crisis, or in response to disasters?
-
Can small to modest grants drive big results when investing in SIIOs, or is accelerating SIIOs necessarily a costly endeavor?
