Catalysing Change Conversation Series Session 4 Coming Up! – “Closing the Core Cost Funding Gap”
Date: Wednesday, 24th November, 5 PM – 6:15 PM IST
The Bridgespan Group is a global nonprofit organization that collaborates with mission-driven leaders, organizations, philanthropists, and investors to break cycles of poverty and dramatically improve the quality of life for those in need. We are passionate about helping to find solutions to ensure equal opportunity and core human and civil rights. To achieve these objectives, we concentrate our efforts on four broad fields: education; children, youth, and families; public health; and global development. Our services include consulting to nonprofits and philanthropists, leadership development support, and developing and sharing insights—all with the goal of scaling social impact. What we learn from collaborating closely with social sector leaders, complimented by rigorous research, we share broadly to advance social change. The “bridge” in Bridgespan denotes our ability to connect and learn from the social and business sectors, donors and grantees, and ideas and practice. We pursue this work with humility, rigor, and focus on impact; and with a staff that is both exceptionally talented and deeply experienced in the social sector.
ISDM got seeded as an idea in early 2016 when its founders came together with a common vision to launch a first-of-its-kind educational institution that would develop and groom the next generation of professional leaders and managers for the development sector. ISDM envisions building Development Management as a stand-alone domain and an aspirational choice for professionals in the development sector.
Catalyst 2030 We are NGOs, social enterprises, intermediaries, funders and other social change innovators, collaborating in this urgent moment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We live in a unique era of human progress. Extreme poverty, malnutrition, violence, and infectious disease have plummeted, while life expectancy, literacy rates, and electricity access have soared. Yet, severe inequalities in income, health, education, and representation disadvantage billions around the world. Meanwhile, humanity’s growing ecological footprint is threatening many of the natural systems we all depend on—such as climate, oceans, land, biodiversity, and fresh water—which are nearing irreversible tipping points. These crises often intersect, creating conditions ripe for instability and conflict.
Bridgespan India will be hosting a virtual panel at an upcoming Catalyst 2030 webinar on November 24. Titled ‘Closing the Core-Costs Funding Gap,’ the session is an extension of our multi-year Pay-What-It-Takes (PWIT) initiative, that aims to bridge the gap between NGOs and funders on an organization’s indirect or true costs – non-programmatic expenses like staff salaries, tech, and other capacity building costs.
Session is titled *Closing the Core Cost Funding Gap* and is being curated and co-hosted by *The Bridgespan Group* (as part of its Pay-What-It-Takes India Initiative) with support from ISDM and Catalyst 2030 NASE. This session will bring together funders, NGOs and intermediaries to share their unique perspectives about the issue of insufficient core cost coverage.
