NGO

From registration to a sustainable funding function.

Civil society organisations operate at the intersection of mission, methodology, and funder discipline. We work on all three — for organisations from first registration to mature institutional funders.

NGO sector — PARAGRAF

When clients come to us

  • Start-up NGOs — registration through to first major institutional grant
  • Small organisations (under ten staff) — building the function around a working strategy
  • Mid-sized organisations (10-50 staff) — diversification of funding, institutional governance, sectoral leadership
  • Established organisations (50+) — strategic transformation, international expansion, institutional repositioning
