Mastering Sustainability Plan
A Donor-Focused Approach for NGOs
A solid sustainability plan is no longer optional, it’s essential. Donors aren’t just funding ideas; they’re investing in long-term impact. More and more, funders are asking: What happens after the project ends? How will the outcomes be sustained when our support ends? They want to see a clear roadmap for lasting change. Not Dependency. A well-crafted sustainability plan shows your organization is thinking beyond short-term results and has the partnerships, strategies, and commitment to carry the work forward. This course will equip you with the tools, language, and structure to confidently answer those questions and make your proposals stand out.
Join us for this interactive, LIVE course with Dr. Eva Wieners designed specifically for NGOs, where we go beyond the basics and guide you through crafting a powerful, funder-friendly sustainability plan that strengthens your proposals and increases your chances of funding
