Resource mobilisation

Sarah has an impressive track record of securing funding for civil society organisations from a wide range of donors. These encompass institutional donors (including DFID), multilaterals (such as the European Commission, UNFPA, UNDP and WHO) as well as trusts and foundations (including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). 

Sarah offers consultancy expertise and support in:
 
  • Crafting successful proposals matched to a range of funding sources.
  • Reviewing and providing expert input to draft submissions.
  • Strengthening and editing draft proposals.
  • Ensuring alignment with donor policies and priorities.
  • Managing donor relations. 
  • Strengthening reports for donors.

fundraising."

Example: resource mobilisation

Since 2014, Sarah has provided support to IPPF on a large number of proposals which were submitted to institutional donors. Her role includes having an input to programme design, the theory of change and logframe. Sarah has written successful concept notes and worked closely with team members to strengthen draft proposals and ensure alignment with donor priorities. She has also edited donor reports. In early 2019, she edited and contributed to IPPF's Business Plan.

Reviewing draft submissions is an area where Sarah is able to bring her skills to bear. In 2014, she was commissioned by Plan UK to strengthen advocacy proposals
– on behalf of the network Action for Global Health – which were then submitted to European and US donors. Her role was to edit, strengthen the draft submissions and provide advice. And in 2017, Sarah reviewed a draft proposal produced by ActionAid UK and provided expert input on advocacy and sexual and reproductive health and rights. She also reviewed the draft theory of change.
