Strategic focus areas

Work performed by the Foundation

Method of fundraising

Our fundraising strategy is to raise at least Eur 23.5 million between 2021 and 2025 to ensure that we can achieve our mission. Our strategy is focused on: (1) building our internal capacity to raise and mobilize funds; (2) raising additional funds from existing donors and partners through contract extensions or presenting new opportunities for their consideration (3) Pivoting our operational model to ensure that it is more cost efficient and (4) Developing relationships with new funders that are aligned and interested in supporting us to achieve our strategic priorities and to diversify our funding sources

The administration of income and funds

The recording of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities is administered in the ERP(enterprise resource planning), Netsuite. The Foundation’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were audited by KPMG, an independent audit firm of Triggerise Stichting in accordance with the ‘Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance opdrachten’ (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. The audit was conducted in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing.

How income and funds will be spent and to which objectives

2022 was the last phase of our 3-year strategic plan. In 2022, we developed a new strategic plan with 5 focus areas as noted in earlier sections of this report. We are looking to scale our delivery model across our core markets, become a leading player in the verification of outputs and outcomes, become thought leaders on adolescent SRH and build a culture that promotes data-driven decision-making, sustainably increasing our revenue to reach an annual budget of €26 million and be a future-ready organization that continues to be adaptive and fast-moving for sustained success. In 2022, we signed new funding contracts and grant agreements worth €3.863 million which will be spent in accordance with the respective agreements.
