Funding in a Shifting Context
November 11 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Across philanthropy, government and impact investing, the rules of funding are being rewritten. How do we lead, learn and adapt when the ground keeps moving?
The Systems Innovation Learning Partnership (SILP) led by Climate KIC is hosting a three-part Deep Dive Series exploring how funders, intermediaries and systems leaders can navigate complexity and catalyse transformation.
Module 1: Funding in a Shifting Context
Funding is shifting fast. Agencies are shutting down, budgets are tightening, political priorities are changing, philanthropy is taking new forms, and intermediaries are being asked to step into new roles.
This opening Deep Dive will frame the landscape we’re all operating in, exploring:
- How funders are responding and reacting to this turbulence.
- The new capabilities and relationships needed when “business as usual” breaks down.
- What these radical shifts mean for tackling complex challenges in the world — and how innovators can learn to operate in, and even exploit, the cracks within funding systems.

- Module 1: Funding in Shifting Context
- Module 2: From Rethinking to Redoing Funding: Operationalising New Approaches
- Module 3: The Invisible Work of Systems Change
