Running a small environmental NGO often means everyone does a bit of everything — including fundraising, usually squeezed between the rest of the job.

Fundraising for Small Environmental NGOs was built with exactly that reality in mind: not a lack of commitment, but limited time, competing priorities, and not always knowing which opportunity is worth chasing. Four modules, 5–7 hours total, built to fit around the job you already have.

For another perspective on finding funding for conservation, explore Becoming a Conservation Entrepreneur: How to Unlock Alternative Funding for Nature, a resource from IUCN Environment and Law.

Drawing on lessons from the IUCN Incubator for Nature Conservation pilot projects, it shares examples and resources to help bridge the gap between conservation and investment, and turn promising ideas into reality.

Giving yourself time to build your fundraising skills is worth it — not only for what gets done afterwards, but because your organisation’s mission deserves it.

Self-paced, start anytime, CHF 80 (USD 99), with discounts for IUCN Members and Commission members.

🌿 The 7th edition of the Professional Certificate on Finance for Nature is underway!

This week, participants representing 20+ nationalities across five continents joined the first live session.

They began by exploring the nature-finance nexus, including the relationship between nature and the economy, and the value of nature as an economic asset.

Three ideas from the Dasgupta Review (2021) provide an important starting point:

🌱 We are part of nature, not separate from it.
💡 Nature has value and can be considered an asset.
📈 Nature is much more than a driver of economic growth.

Participants also explored the importance of valuing nature by looking at the relationship in both directions: how nature affects the economy and how economic activity affects nature.

A strong start to five weeks of exploring how finance can support nature in practice.

Over the past month, we've walked through the whole fundraising journey — from readiness, to prioritising opportunities, to writing proposals that land, to building on that success over time.

One more perspective worth adding: fundraising often feels like a one-sided conversation — you pitch, funders decide. Fundraising for Small Environmental NGOs flips that: developed with valuable contributions from Synchronicity Earth and the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN), the course brings together perspectives from funders and fundraisers through real scenarios, so you start to see what actually shapes a ‘yes’.

And you won't be working through it alone. Every module includes peer exchange — participants review and comment on each other's work. As one participant put it: ‘you are not learning alone.’

Self-paced, start anytime, CHF80 (99 USD), 5–7 hours.

⏳ The Professional Certificate on Finance for Nature starts its 7th edition on 5 October.

Module 1 starts with a question worth sitting with: what does it mean to treat nature as a natural capital asset, and why does this matter for the global economy?

Four modules later, you'll have applied that question to a real decision at an organisation of your choice.

5 October – 9 November, live sessions Mondays 14:00–16:00 CEST/CET.

Fundraising Journey — Part 4 of 4

Winning funding is a milestone, not a finish line.

What happens after — how you report back, how you keep the relationship going, how a first "yes" becomes a longer partnership — is often where organisations lose momentum. Not because they don't care, but because nobody taught them how.

Module 4 of Fundraising for Small Environmental NGOs — "How do I build on funding success over time?" — is about exactly that: turning one success into the foundation for the next one.

It's also where the course comes full circle: the same peer exchange that helped you sharpen your readiness, your priorities and your proposals is still there, because building long-term support isn't something you figure out alone either.

Self-paced, start anytime, CHF80 (99 USD), 5–7 hours, discounts for IUCN Members and Commission members.
