Funding Change That Lasts: Handbook - SOS – Sumatran Orangutan Society

Funding Change That Lasts: Handbook

Funding Change That Lasts is a practical guide for environmental funders dedicated to achieving lasting, meaningful impact for wildlife, habitats, and communities through a community-centred approach to conservation.

Funders hold a pivotal role in shaping the future of conservation. By rethinking how proposals are evaluated, partnerships are nurtured, and programmes are supported, they can champion participatory, rights-based approaches that lead to enduring results.

This handbook provides a comprehensive set of recommendations to help embed these principles into funding practices and processes. Developed in collaboration with conservation practitioners, anthropologists, and forward-thinking funders, it offers actionable insights and strategies to support funding models that create resilient outcomes for both people and nature.
