About the CAF Resilience Programme
CAF Resilience is a programme to test out how we, and others in the sector, can help small charities ensure their long term survival, and the continuation of the vital services they provide.
Through this initiative, ten small to medium sized charities in the UK, whose work has a 'problem prevention' focus, are receiving grant funding, alongside bespoke advice and training. The grant is ring fenced to give staff time to focus on organisational development not delivery. It’s about developing the resilience of the charity, whatever that looks like for them, without a predefined outcome.
In return for this support to build their resilience, the selected organisations have formed a learning community, working with us to encourage further philanthropic giving that supports this goal.
We hope that what we learn will inspire more major donors to support charities in planning for the longer term; to strengthen their organisational health and help secure the continued delivery of services that people depend upon.
