Toolkits, Guidelines and Case Studies

IPASA has developed toolkits for funders in key funding focus areas. These toolkits provide funders with succinct information on key topics and connects them with additional resources for further reading.

By making these toolkits and guidelines available, we would like to encourage good funding practices that will help funders to achieve the best possible impact through their giving.

Grant Craft Toolkit

This toolkit is organised into two main sections: the context in which grant making and grant management takes place; and grant making and grant management practices.

The Climate Crisis – A Toolkit and Resource Pack for Funders in South Africa: Why, How, and the Role of Philanthropy

The Toolkit has its genesis in a three-part webinar series on Future Proofing Philanthropy in South Africa Against Climate Change, which was run by IPASA. The toolkit contains rich information and practical advice for organisations on every stage of their climate journey. We believe this Toolkit will catalyse new thinking and will be the beginning of a South African climate philanthropy community of practice and movement.

Climate Change – A Series of Case Studies on South African Funders’ Climate Journeys

IPASA developed and implemented a case study project where we worked with our members who had already started on their climate change response work to capture their objectives, strategies, and plans. We also supported members who wanted to start on their climate journeys to find entry points in the best possible way within the constraints of their mandates and available funds. The 5 case studies reflect the work of 7 IPASA members across different themes.
