Some key takeaways in this episode were:
The balancing act of patience and consistency in grant-seeking.
How hugely important the power of compelling storytelling is to engage donors and supporters.
Being grant-ready, nurturing donor relationships, and the importance of developing a fundraising plan without necessarily a polished approach but rather, a genuine connection.

Indigenous Communities and Sustainable Forestry in Papua New Guinea with Cosmas Makamet | Ep 12
Cosmas is the manager of FORCERT, a sustainable forestry nonprofit operating in Papua New Guinea. FORCERT is owned by the indigenous communities of PNG and they have built trusted partnerships that are critical to protecting land rights in the face of logging and palm oil companies. Their work within these communities is critical to sustaining the forests and biodiversity of Papua New Guinea, which is in turn critical for the future of the whole planet.
I've been working with Cosmas and FORCERT for the past few years to help them build a sustainable fundraising model that includes global institutions, international partnerships, local trusts and companies, and a social enterprise arm so that their work can continue.
FORCERT is an amazing organisation working at the sharp end of biodiversity loss prevention and has developed an effective model for community engagement, ownership and empowerment.
This is a TINY NONPROFIT facing up to global companies and national government.
It's INCREDIBLE, BRAVE and DEEPLY INSPIRING.
It's always wonderful catching up with Cosmas and I know you'll enjoy meeting him today and will be inspired hearing about the work of FORCERT.
