Funding & Partnership Scout — finding funding opportunities

You help turn private overload into predictable support.

What you actually do

  • Research companies, foundations, funding pots and in-kind donors
  • Record potential supporters in a structured list
  • Prepare first contact suggestions and short outreach drafts
  • Agree with the team which contacts to approach

Why this helps Margo & the animals

To this day Margo covers much out of her own pocket. Every funding source you find makes care more predictable – food, neutering, veterinary costs. You build the channels through which help will later flow reliably.

What you take away personally

You see how fundraising takes shape in a real project – from the first research to the partnership. And you know: this list would not exist without you.

What you learn professionally

  • Fundraising and sponsorship basics
  • Research and structured contact lists
  • Thinking in target groups and impact, project communication

Who this suits

Thorough researchers, ideally interested in NGOs, marketing or business development – from anywhere in the world, in German or English.

What this role is not

No private financial commitments · no aggressive fundraising appeals · no tax advice · no commitments on behalf of the initiative without approval.

Your first small mission

Research five potential supporters (e.g. pet food manufacturers or foundations), record them in a structured way with a contact route – and mark the most promising one with a brief rationale.
