Intelligence-led Capability Building

See the whole picture behind impact:
Introducing intelligence-led capability building

Funders can see the community needs that their partners serve. It is often harder to see what it takes internally for these partners to effectively deliver.

Join Benefolk for an introduction to capability intelligence and how it can help funders make more informed decisions about capacity-building support.

Our Philanthropy Australia Conference breakfast on this topic sold out, with attendees rating it one of the standout events of the week. Now, we’re bringing the conversation online for philanthropic funders, impact investors and peak bodies who couldn’t join us in Brisbane.

We’ll introduce Springboard™ and Headwinds™ – Benefolk’s new AI-powered intelligence products – and explore how they can help reveal:

• Organisational strengths and leadership alignment on capability needs

• Macro pressures affecting service delivery and financial sustainability, and the capability needs to better deal with macro pressures

• Insights into the impacts on workplace mental health and wellbeing

• Where targeted support and investments could make the greatest difference

Special guest Cynthia Scherer, General Manager of the Anthony Costa Foundation will show how an intelligence-led approach to grantmaking is making a difference across their portfolio, and also helping Geelong Funders Collaborative with a region wide data set for more effective advocacy.

We’ll share what we’re learning as we put these tools to work and discuss how funders can use these insights alongside their existing knowledge of the organisations they support.

Can't make the webinar, register and we will share the recording with you. Explore the diagnostics here, and drop us a line to hello@benefolk.org with any queries.

RELEVANT FOR: Philanthropic trusts and foundations, impact investors, government, peak bodies.
