Why donors are shifting focus to "Climate Adaptation" and what it means for you.

Dear Founder,
I created Fundraising Academy (FRACAD) for one simple reason.
After years of working with businesses and nonprofits across Africa, the US, and Europe, I
noticed a painful pattern.
Most organizations do not fail at winning grants because they lack ideas.
They fail because they approach funding before they are ready for it.
They apply too early.
They apply to the wrong funders.
They write proposals without strong evidence.
They chase grant money that does not fit their stage.
And when rejection comes, they assume the system is broken and that their organizations are a
failure.
It usually isn’t.
Funders are not looking for passion.
They are not impressed by long stories.
They are not persuaded by the volume of proposals you submit.
They are trying to reduce risk and have the best returns on their investments.
FRACAD was built to help leaders like you understand that reality and prepare for it properly.
This program is not about writing more grant applications.
It is about building fundability.
Fundability is the ability to absorb capital, deploy it responsibly, and deliver results that
align with a funder’s mandate.
That work is not glamorous. You will need to make your brain sweat!
Fundability requires clarity, hardwork, discipline, and honesty about where your organization
truly is.
You will be asked to slow down.
You will be asked to think structurally.
You will be asked to write original work.
You will be asked to accept feedback and accountability.
There are no guarantees here.
Only preparation.
I have seen organizations with average ideas get funded because they were ready.
I have also seen strong ideas rejected repeatedly because the teams were not.
This academy exists to close that gap.
If you are looking for shortcuts, this program will frustrate you.
If you are willing to build credibility properly, it will serve you for years.
Funding follows readiness.
Always.
Sincerely,
Founder, Fundraising Academy

Our lead facilitator is Blessing Mene, supported by guest experts from major foundations and successful alumni who have raised over $1M.
