The CAF Resilience Programme
Small charities are often only funded to deliver projects. Securing the type of investment needed to step back from the day-to-day work and focus on strategy is difficult.
Yet this is what’s needed for focusing on, protecting and strengthening small charities’ long-term organisational resilience – and ultimately increasing their impact. So how can we, as a sector and as funders, ensure charities receive the funding needed to build resilience?
The Creating Resilience report encompasses rich and valuable learnings from our
CAF Resilience Programme. The pilot project examined what resilience could mean for ten small charities, how resilience funding can be structured, and the impact it can have. Our findings detail key recommendations for the sector and for funders in doing more to support small charities in planning for the long-term, so they can continue delivering vital services for their communities.
