Building sustainable,
impact-driven organisations
Every non-profit organisation that participates in one of TFN’s flagship events is invited to participate in an ongoing Alumni Program that offers professional development, pro bono support and new funding opportunities so they can remain efficient, effective, and viable post-event.
This ongoing program plays a significant role in supporting Alumni on their path to becoming thriving, sustainable organisations.
Alumni are invited to participate in a series of thought leadership events and workshops throughout the year, with topics chosen based on their needs. In addition, we have a number of alliance partnerships with organisations that provide access to their services at no cost.
