We’re filled with new energy for using our resources – human and financial – to help South Africa realise its many possibilities after our operations officer, Bailey Corder CA (SA), attended a collaborative session titled “Exploring philanthropic partnerships in complex times”. The session – hosted by international philanthropies the Ford Foundation and Humanity United, as well as South Africa’s RAITH Foundation – was facilitated by Megan Colnar, executive director of Accountable Now, and Zipporah Ongwenyi, strategy and impact manager. It was held in person at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg and was attended by local and international funders in the social justice sector. Here are some of the insights that Bailey Corder CA (SA) brought back from the event: 📌 Ensure, upfront, that collaborating organisations and individuals are aligned on values, expectations and resource constraints 📌 Unpack the concepts of money vs power vs influence and how they play a role in collaborations 📌 Be clear on, and know how to effectively leverage, larger international funders' influence on scale; the different roles that local funders can play through their site-specific knowledge and understanding; and the trust they have established in particular communities 📌 Be aware of groupthink, which can decrease effectiveness 📌 Share information across regions and focus areas. This can be an easy way to start creating effective networks and partnerships 📌 Look to the future: know what’s coming down the line in three, five or even 10 years, and prepare for what is expected 📌 Collective action can be powerful. Local funders should consider acting in unison at certain times, such as when obtaining information from large international funders, understanding their strategies and acting in line with their strategies in South Africa 📌 International funders can offer insights into international trends and the relevant impact they can have on South Africa and Africa It's wonderful to receive these insights towards the end of the year, and we’ll be incorporating them into our work in 2025, as we once again lean into realising South Africa’s true potential.
