Fundshui is where ideas meet action together.
A T4GC event series where nonprofits can come together to untangle their fundraising challenges, and imagine better, tech-enabled ways to solve them. More than just an event, it’s a dedicated, community-led space for nonprofits to collectively address the complexities of fundraising through smarter systems, sustainable practices, and sector-wide collaboration.
2024 was a year of both affirmation and overload. When we launched FOSSFwd, our open-source enablement program, we anticipated supporting 30 to 40 nonprofits over the year. Instead, we received over 380 unique requests in under eight months, ranging from data migration and tool selection to complete system redesigns.
We responded by building the Fundraising Management System (FMS), an open-source system that brings clarity and coherence to lead and donor acquisition, budget planning, compliance, utilisation tracking and grant management. Built in collaboration with 20+ organisations, it brings together fundraising workflows into one space making the invisible visible, and the scattered, systematic.
In 3 months, we’ve held four events (two virtual, two in-person), bringing together 90 organisations. From grassroots orgs to larger national NGOs, the sessions created space for open exchange and sparked dozens of insights that are already shaping the future of the FMS.
Fundshui is a space where people come to swap stories, untangle shared challenges, and learn from each other’s lived experience. In these peer-led conversations and spontaneous jams, new possibilities begin to take shape. We’ve seen these moments spark change management strategies that help organizations navigate the real and messy internal practical shifts required to adopt new systems.
We’ve seen these moments spark change management strategies that help organisations navigate the real and messy internal practical shifts required to adopt new systems. This is our approach to capacity building. Not through one way training, but by creating nooks where people shape the very systems built for them. It’s how collective confidence, and lasting change, take root.
