Why Choose ‘Funder Identity'?
Funding organizations in the international development or humanitarian aids often have a well-defined identity and role within the community. However, as often pointed out, funding organizations in tech usually don’t limit themselves to one specific role such as funders, but sometimes also as partners and collaborators of the community.
In response to this challenge, Funder Identity is a quick and time-saving way that provides funding organizations with an opportunity to reflect on their current branding strategy, as well as reshape their approach to present themselves within the community in ways that are aligned with their values and missions.
