We help organisations and leaders transition to the next stage of their development.

Funding strategy

Rendere is an invite-only Trust that provides strategic advice and core funding to strengthen organisational structures and build sustainability.

In some cases, the Trust leads new ventures, providing administration, communications and office support to get initiatives off the ground.

We enter into all of our relationships with aim of ensuring our support will extend the reach of these organisations and help them transition to the next stage of their development. Read our impact studies to learn more.

While each opportunity is assessed on a case-by-case basis, we generally fund:

$

Trailblazing organisations and leaders who are demonstrating impact at scale.

$

Initiatives that build strength and unity around the sector and/or fill gaps where needed.

$

Initiatives and activities that focus on building skills and opportunities for next-generation conservation leaders.

$

Opportunities where our funding can be leveraged in a way that supports and builds confidence for other funders to invest.
