Join us at the Skoll World Forum Marmalade Festival 2025

Join us and Mulago for a for a panel discussion about how key funders enable impact at scale.

Join us at the Skoll World Forum Marmalade Festival 2025.

Hosted by Mulago and Spring Impact, the ‘Payers at Scale: Sources and Strategies for Impact that Goes Big’ session explores brings together funders and nonprofits to explore how and when philanthropy, customers and government (and big aid, if it still exists!) funding can be used to unlock scale.

Using deep research of global funders and nonprofits, we’ll examine how funders deploy resources for greater impact and how this should influence nonprofit fundraising strategies. We’ll dive into funding practices that work, those that don’t, and why barriers to financing scale persist—and how to overcome them.

  • Date: Wednesday 2 April
  • Time: 13:30 – 15:00

About the Securing Nonprofit Funding report

Funding remains one of the toughest barriers to scaling, with little to no guidance available on how to navigate it. So we’ve asked: how do non-profits that successfully sustain solutions at scale secure funding for it? And who’s paying?

Our new study uncovers the funding models of 28 leading non-profits operating across 70 countries and 10 issue areas, the majority of which are delivering solutions in low- and middle-income countries.

We examined five types of funding sources for scale – philanthropy, governments, corporates, bilateral and multilateral institutions, and end users – highlighting their unique trade-offs and lessons specific to each.
