    Funding Organisational Development: From Insight to Action

    Funding Organisational Development: From Insight to Action is a practical guide for funders seeking to strengthen the resilience, effectiveness and long-term sustainability of the organisations they support. Developed by Philea's Organisational Development Community of Practice and informed by experienced practitioners, it explores how funders can move beyond one-off capacity-building interventions towards more holistic, trust-based approaches that centre partner agency, equity and context. The publication offers a practical ten-step framework for designing or renewing organisational development support, addressing challenges facing civil society today.
