Testimonial from previous SIFI Education Fund Awardees "Our application to the Education Fund enabled us to approach new funders and having the uplift made it so much simpler to approach people. The uplift went not just to our project, but also to research and validation and this as much as the extra income made our donors so committed to the cause” Jonathan Doyle Citywise“The uplift has been hugely beneficial for us. We have been able to expand from four to six schools. Not only has the fund been financially beneficial but also the peer learning network has been a huge advantage, a huge learning to us and brought our thinking to a whole other level’’ Janice Mc Garry Aspire2 …...”the fund support has been fantastic, in terms of the training provided by SIFI around key elements, thinking through our entire approach from theory of change to modeling what our end game is going to be and how we are going to achieve social impact” Thomas Murray An Cosán
