Driven by passion and commitment
TripleFunds is an initiative by TripleMinds - a social business dedicated to strengthen
civil society as a motor to create positive change in the world.
What we do
We support NGOs and social businesses throughout the whole FUNdraising cycle: we help you find the right grant-givers, support you with building up relations, design and review your grant proposals and guide you through your impact measurement. We are also proud of our FUNcap program, which we have designed for grant-givers that want to strengthen the fundraising capacities of their grantees. Our services include:
TripleFunds database
Donor mappings
Trainings and workshops
M&E and evaluations
FUNcap program
In total, we have worked with around 200 donors,
have written over 1,000 proposals and
raised over €100 million in grant funding.
FUNcap
FUNcap is our comprehensive FUNdraising capacity development program for non-profits that want to increase their grant fundraising capacity. Why FUNcap? Because FUNdraising is also FUN – and trust us: you will think the same after you have worked with us.
In FUNcap we cover all four phases of the grant fundraising cycle in a 4-staged modular approach: donor identification, relationship building, proposal writing and maintaining good relationships. We kick-start each of the four phases with a training (either online or in-person) followed by individual coaching sessions to support our clients with designing specific work packages (i.e., mapping potential donors, designing and writing proposals, developing impact models and impact reports).
The four modules of FUNcap are:
Module 1 - Donor Identification
We start with designing a (simple and practicable) fundraising strategy, then we show you how highly effective research strategies and online platforms to identify potential donors and how to manage your research data internally.
Module 2 - Donor Cultivation
This module is all about relationship-building with your potential donors: how to write captivating emails or to make a convincing phone call, or what to prepare for your first personal meeting (incl. the design of a pitch deck).
Module 3 - Proposal Writing
Once some donors are ready to receive your proposal, this phase is all about writing a compelling application that will convince the donor. Next to practicing proposal writing skills, you will also learn how to show your impact.
Module 4 - Donor Stewardship
This is the important last phase which covers a range of ideas on how to best nurture the existing relationship with your donors: how to write appealing impact reports, some ideas on innovative ways to say thank you to your donors.
OUR JOURNEY
2013
TripleMinds was set up by the three passionate development workers Lisa Ringhofer, Ulli Morrenth and Silvia Weninger. After having worked and lived in Africa, Asia and Latin America for a number of years, we all returned to Austria with the desire to set up a social business that builds the capacities of NGOs in order to create meaningful change in the world.
2016
During our work at NGOs and institutional donors, we saw the urgent need for a well-structured, easy-to-use database with a good mix of donors for international development projects. We wanted NGOs to save time and resources on searching for funding all across the internet, and also train these NGOs on fundraising capacities. This is how TripleFunds was born and finally launched in 2016.
2022
In 2022 we combined all our lessons learned and experience in a much wider and more comprehensive training program called 'FUNcap' - our FUNdraising capacity development program. It guides NGOs through the whole FUNdraising cycle and combines workshops with individual coaching sessions. We cooperate with a number of international foundations that offer this program to their grantee partners. It has been such a rewarding journey so far.
