OUR LEAD IMPACT FUND
At LEAD, we believe in empowering organizations like yours that are dedicated to driving culture transformation, embodying strong values, and enacting leadership change. Our LEAD Impact Fund is committed to supporting small and grassroots non-profits that strive for a lasting impact but may lack the necessary funding to achieve their goals.
We understand the financial challenges you may face, which is why our fund is designed to alleviate some of the costs associated with our professional services. By partnering with us, you'll gain access to our full range of services at a reduced cost, enabling you to maintain your focus on creating meaningful change without the burden of financial constraints.
We seek to support organizations with an intersectional lens that are often overlooked by traditional funding avenues. If your mission aligns with our vision of sustainable and inclusive development, we invite you to join hands with us. Let's work together to make a significant impact on society. Please reach out to us!
"Thanks to the LEAD Impact Fund our NGO was able to afford two workshop days, from which we benefited in the long term." - Claudia Meister, Hanseatic Help, e.V.
