How do we begin to light our candles?
Bespoke facilitated workshops for families or guided conversations with couples and individuals will bring to life these questions and create a rich pool of information with which to create a dynamic strategy for giving.
We start with clear questions. What are your values? What motivates you every day? What do you want to achieve? And what legacy and impact do you want to leave in our world?
Creating a giving plan
- Identifying the structures that will most benefit your philanthropic outlook (Foundation, Donor Assisted Funds, Direct Giving and other options)
- Creation of a bespoke and strategic giving plan, which will include a Theory of Change, for the impact you want to achieve.
Identifying the best fit projects and organisations
- Identifying the best organisations to collaborate with and support. All nature-related NGO's are trying their best to create positive change for the planet, but some are more effective than others. Finding the right partners that work in harmony with your strategic and defined giving plan will create greater impact and make for a more harmonious and joyful giving journey
- Identifying the most effective, strategic and clear projects that honour the wishes of the giving plan. Those projects that have been meticulously planned, that have clear results chains and monitoring and evaluation plans, those that have detailed operation outlines for effective delivery.
Grant management
- Working with recipient bodies on budgets, receipt of monies, reporting schedules
- Scheduling meetings with recipient bodies and providing representation of the donor
Are we confident that the gift was effective?
- Project monitoring and evaluation, including an understanding of outputs, outcomes and whether the project is on the right track to create long-term impacts
- Have the right project learnings taken place to further develop the work?
Understanding NGO's
Navigating the NGO and not-for-profit world can be daunting for those unfamiliar with its operations and approaches. With nearly 30 years in the NGO sector Ferox Philanthropy can be your translator and guide, to help create warm, effective and impactful relationships with your grantees.
Impact investing and beyond
Ferox Philanthropy can also assist beyond the purely philanthropic. As the investment markets look to harness their power to go beyond the confines of ESG and look at true impact investing, subject matter expertise for nature will be more in demand than ever. For both investment houses and their clients how do you interrogate whether a conservation-led investment not only gives effective returns, but delivers on impact?
With the welcome advent of TNFD companies are embracing the need to disclose their nature related risk. But what comes next? Offsets and credits for biodiversity are not yet well defined. What then can responsible corporate actors do in the short to medium term to mitigate risk that they cannot fully eliminate? Working with Ferox Philanthropy the identification of effective projects can be identified and collaborations that benefit all can begin. Projects that bring a rich narrative for your own communications to your clients and customers.
Let's have a conversation about how Ferox Philanthropy can enhance your business and outcomes for your clients.
