Holistic Support - ECCA Family Foundation

Holistic Support

Just like how a single drop in the ocean creates ripples of change, we believe in incremental impact. Holistic support lays the groundwork for strong partnerships, initiating a transformative journey for our collaborators in three key ways:

Confidence

We prioritize the experimentation process, allowing partners the space to explore and learn from both successes and failures. Our long-term commitment fosters psychological safety, nurturing growing confidence and risk appetites, leading to the discovery of effective solutions.

Capital

Our strategic flexibility provides multi-year, adaptable, and non-extractive risk funding. We emphasize an impact-first approach that goes beyond traditional funding models to facilitate innovation and rapid validation. From grants to impact investment instruments, our capital not only funds projects but also amplifies the voices and agency of local leadership, creating a lasting ripple effect.

Capacity

Our success is intertwined with our partners’. Going ‘beyond the cheque’, we identify and address overlooked capacity development needs. From strategic advice to impact management, we offer critical resources for organizational growth. Holistic support leads us to outcome-driven exits, empowering partners to go further than before.

For us to collectively build a better future, philanthropy must evolve. Committed to equity, we shift power dynamics, break silos, and foster collaboration. This is how we cultivate strong partnerships.
