Can technology help create thriving communities?

This collaborative session with Sovereign Network Group (SNG) and ActionFunder will explore how using technology has delivered impactful, proportionate, and participatory grant making.

Working together since 2024, SNG have used ActionFunders engaging grant management platform that matches non-profits with funders and then tracks the impact. In this session SNG and ActionFunder will explore how the platform/use of technology has enabled SNG to reach groups at the heart of its communities through its grant funding.

SNG and ActionFunder will explore how the use of technology has delivered many expected, and unexpected benefits! During the session we will reflect on how we can streamline our processes, rethink risk as funders and use innovative digital tools to embed community voice in the grant making process.

The Festival is open to all members of London Funders. Unless otherwise specified, we are not able to accept bookings from non-members. If you’re a funder and interested in becoming a London Funders member, please find out more here.
