Accompanied Grants
Arise combines strategic grant giving with close accompaniment of organizations through mentoring and programmatic training. Our accompaniment increases the ability of frontline groups to meet the needs of their local communities.
Grant giving
Arise knows that frontline groups and their networks need more funding. However, we are also aware that funding alone isn’t enough, and can sometimes create more problems than it solves.
We are therefore committed to providing medium-sized grants to frontline organizations. We are a friendly funder, who is committed to working with applicants to establish how their projects can best be supported.
Accompaniment
Developing network and organizational capacity cannot be achieved sustainably without longer-term accompaniment.
Arise provides strategic advice, mentoring and training. We aspire to act as a patient catalyst to our network through the practice of what we term accompaniment.
Accompaniment requires listening, learning, evaluating, investing, and being willing truly to hear and respond appropriately to the needs and perspectives of those we aspire to support.
