The Problem
Did you know that 1 out of 2 non-profits worldwide are chronically underfunded?
This is what we want to change.
Our Mission
Our mission is to boost the grant funding of non-profits working in international cooperation through trainings, coaching and practical tools. We deeply understand the fundraising challenges that non-profits face, as TripleMinds founders Lisa Ringhofer and Silvia Weninger have spent many years working within NGOs around the world themselves.
We achieve our mission through:
On- and offline trainings
Individual coaching
Practical tools
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where non-profits have all the resources and capacities they need to create lasting impact.
Our Impact
By 2030, we want 1,000 non-profits to positively impact the lives of 10,000,000 people globally.
We will achieve this through boosting the grant funding of 100 non-profits annually which will impact 10,000 people per year.
Our Expertise
With a deep understanding of how international funders tick, we have collaborated with over 200 public and private donors globally, including major government agencies (European Commission, ECHO, USAID, AFD, SDC, ADA, SIDA, DANIDA, Norad, etc.) as well as international grant-making foundations (such as family and corporate foundations). In total we have written close to 1,000 proposal documents.
Our FUNCAP framework helps non-profits strengthen their grant fundraising. Built around the 4R Framework, FUNCAP guides you through the full fundraising cycle: RESEARCH – identify the right funders; RELATE – build meaningful connections; REQUEST – craft compelling, story-driven proposals; and RENEW – show impact and secure ongoing support. Our clients include non-profit organisations, with whom we engage across the entire fundraising cycle, as well as grant-giving foundations aiming to enhance the capacities of their grantees.
In total, we have worked with around 200 donors,
have written over 1,000 proposals and
raised over €100 million in grant funding.
We specialise in:
1 - RESEARCH
We create fundraising strategies and identify potential funders through donor mappings.
2 - RELATE
We are skilled at developing program models, carrying out communication checks, and developing touch points.
3 - REQUEST
We are experts at crafting compelling grant proposals, blending storytelling and visuals to demonstrate impact.
4 - RENEW
We guide on crafting impactful progress reports, M&E frameworks and preparing strategically for future grant applications.
OUR JOURNEY
2013
TripleMinds, founded by Lisa Ringhofer, Ulli Morrenth, and Silvia Weninger, emerged from our work at different NGOs across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our shared vision was to establish a social business that boosts the grant funding for non-profits, with the ultimate aim of creating positive impact globally.
2016
While working with NGOs and institutional donors, we identified a pressing need for a well-structured, user-friendly database encompassing a wide array of donors for international cooperation projects. Our objective was to assist NGOs in conserving time and resources typically consumed by scouring the internet for funding opportunities, while also providing training in grant funding proficiency. This vision led to the creation of TripleFunds, which we successfully launched in 2016.
2022
In 2022, we consolidated our wealth of insights and expertise into a comprehensive framework known as FUNCAP - the Grant Funding Capacity Development Framework. This program offers non-profits guidance throughout the entire grant funding cycle, combining trainings with individual coaching sessions. We partner with various international foundations to offer this program to their grantee partners.

The workshop you held last month was truly fantastic! It was entertaining and exciting, yet very informative and wonderfully professional! I’ve attended many workshops, but rarely one of such high quality, where I was able to gain so much – for myself and my team. My colleagues have already told me that it was the best investment we could have made :-)!!

We really think TripleMinds is great – your approach is empowering and makes it fun to get involved, network, etc., whereas with comparable services I often get the feeling that you can only run after people.

I absolutely loved the session on fundraising from philanthropic foundations led by Lisa Ringhofer. It was by far the highlight of my experience! The impact of this session on my understanding of fundraising was immense. Lisa is an exceptional trainer, and her engaging way of discussing fundraising concepts was truly refreshing.
