Expertise to grant
About ten dollars of donated professional support for every dollar granted.
Expertise is the scarcest thing a small third-sector organisation can buy — and the only thing that stays after the money is spent.
A grant funds a year. A finance system, a constituted board and a fundraising strategy fund every year after it. That is what ASPIRE’s volunteers build, and why capacity funding compounds in a way project funding cannot.
