Welcome to FUNCAP!
FUNCAP is our practical, field-tested framework for strengthening the grant fundraising capacities of non-profit organisations with a focus on philanthropic foundations. Built on our 20+ years of hands-on work with NGOs, FUNCAP provides a clear, structured pathway to build the skills, systems, and confidence needed for successful grant fundraising – especially when targeting international trusts and foundations. And on top it gets you ready for unrestricted funding or core grants!
At the core of FUNCAP is the 4R Model – a step-by-step process that guides you through every stage of the grant fundraising cycle:
1 – RESEARCH: you develop your grant funding strategy and research your best potential funders;
2 – RELATE: your make yourself visible and engage successfully with potential donors;
3 – REQUEST: you write winning grant proposals that stick using storytelling elements; and
4 – RENEW: you communicate your impact and renew your bond.
We are running 4 FUNCAP Cohorts in 2026 each lasting 2 months (1 month group trainings, 1 month individual coaching). Participants get access to 4 online trainings, 4 individual coaching sessions, the FUNCAP section at TripleFunds with 20+ videos and templates as well as 24/7 advice from TripleMinds.

Join our Cohort
The group trainings (each lasting 2.5 hours via Zoom) cover the 4Rs. Following the trainings, you can select 4 individual coaching sessions from the 8 available. Each session is one-on-one with your team, and you may include as many team members as needed. Coachings are conducted online via Zoom and last 1.5 hours. During these sessions, we work on concrete outputs, such as your program model, LinkedIn profile, funding proposals or impact models.
We will have 4 Cohorts in 2026. Seats are limited to 24 organisations (6 organisations per Cohort). 3 people from one organisation can join. We hope to have you on board.
