Sefa offers fee-based capability building services to help you build and grow your purpose-driven organisation through tailored advice alongside our capital offering, including maximising impact, organisational resilience and investment readiness support.
Being clear about impact helps your organisation build and validate business plans and operating models that align with your purpose. Defining outcomes that you will unlock that relate to that impact means that you are clear about your organisation’s potential and what you are striving to achieve.
We help you achieve this by working with you to develop a Theory of Change. It allows your team to make evidence-based decisions, report to and communicate with various stakeholders and advocate for your social cause more broadly. This includes a framework for embedding data collection, monitoring and evaluation practices and defining, measuring and reporting your social impact.
Working across the pillars of impact, governance, commercial acumen and partnerships, we help you develop the skills, structures and processes that empower you to operate efficiently, effectively, and viably. By conducting a comprehensive stocktake we get to understand your organisation’s starting point – and how we can best support you to build resilience and drive impact and growth.
We make sure that the content we cover includes learning opportunities for your organisation, with meaningful input and active participation from management, your Board and other stakeholders. For some clients, we explore finance as a tool to help deepen and grow their impact whilst strengthening financial independence and sustainability to prepare for future investment opportunities.
Having the right financial models, funding structures and impact measurements in place maximises your organisation’s chances of securing the funding you need to thrive. We help you get ‘investment ready’ by working with you to develop these tools and frameworks. You’ll also develop your understanding of different forms of investment, what they mean for your organisation and how you can make informed decisions along your journey to secure the right type of capital at the right time from the right type of investor(s).
