A concept note is a short version of a proposal. Donors often request concept notes as the first step in funding applications. This allows them to screen applications so that only the best ones are invited to submit a full proposal.

Usually the donor has their own concept note template that you can use. If they don’t have one send us an email requesting we will send you a template as a starting point@ [email protected]

Stakeholder analysis (also called stakeholder mapping) is an important step in designing a new program. Stakeholders include individuals, community leaders, groups and other organizations who will be impacted by the program, or who could influence the outcome. They can be internal or external.This template can be used to identify the stakeholders for a project, including their level of influence, which issues are important to them and how they will be engaged. Are you designing a new program or project that needs stakeholder mapping drop your email and we will send you a tool that helps map out your stakeholders.

We believe we need to work across sectors and that
most of the problems we face are simply too big for any one entity to solve. Making social progress and achieving impact depends on collaboration among civil society, government, and business.
