Funder Connect
What is Funder Connect?
Funder Connect is a member-only series created to make funding pathways easier to navigate. Each session features a guest from a funding organization who shares insights on priorities, decision-making, and what strong applications and partnerships tend to have in common.
This isn’t a pitch event. It’s a learning space—built to help you fundraise with more clarity, confidence, and strategy.
What you’ll gain
Clearer understanding of how funders assess alignment and impact
Practical tips to strengthen your funding narrative and readiness
The chance to ask questions in a supportive, community-centred setting
Takeaways you can apply right away to proposals, reporting, and relationship-building
Who should join
Funder Connect is for member organizations and leaders who:
Are seeking funding or planning upcoming proposals
Want to improve how they position their work and impact
Are building relationships and long-term funding strategies
Want real-world insight into how funding decisions get made
How it works
Sessions are hosted virtually
Space may be limited to support meaningful dialogue
Members can view upcoming sessions and RSVP through the member portal
