Verify, diagnose, develop, connect, fund, measure
Each stage feeds the next. Your profile helps partners find you, your assessment points to useful learning, and your project results inform what you work on next.
Verify
Show partners who you are. A trained reviewer checks the evidence you provide and records exactly what was confirmed.
Verification case
Under review- Evidence submittedRegistration extract, board decision
- Reviewer assignedTrained verification reviewer
- Review in progressRegistration and representation
- Decision and reasonYou can ask for a correction or appeal
Provide your organisation's details and the evidence we ask for, such as proof of registration and that you can act for the organisation.
A review status showing what was checked, when the decision was made and when it needs renewing.
It confirms specific checks only. It isn't a general trust rating, an accreditation or proof of grant eligibility.
Diagnose
Understand where your organisation is strong and what to strengthen first, across eight areas of organisational capacity.
Your findings
ExampleAnswer the capacity assessment at your own pace. Save your progress and come back whenever you like.
Findings for each area, a list of unanswered items and the priority areas your answers point to.
Results are self-reported and kept apart from reviewed evidence. They're private by default and never ranked publicly.
Develop
Turn findings into action. Each recommendation links to a practical resource and tells you why it was suggested.
Recommended for Impact measurement
ExampleFollow recommendations, use templates and toolkits, and take Vision Academy courses that match your priorities.
Practical next steps linked to your findings. Recommendations in V1 follow simple, explainable rules, not AI.
Finishing a course doesn't prove organisational capacity on its own. Development plans are proposed for a later release.
Connect
Find organisations with complementary strengths by country, theme, target group and programme experience.
Search the directory and describe the kind of collaboration your organisation is looking for.
Relevant profiles and a way to get in touch. Partner matching and structured partner calls are proposed for V1.5.
You control whether contact details are shown. Expressing interest isn't a confirmed partnership.
Fund
Find calls that fit your work and prepare stronger applications, with every listing linked to its official source.
Small grants for community capacity building
Funding for NGOs strengthening governance, finance or safeguarding practices.
Browse curated calls and use readiness resources to check your fit before applying through the official route.
Listings with the source, deadline, eligibility notes and the date our team last checked them.
We don't award or distribute funding. Each funder decides eligibility, and no application outcome is guaranteed.
Measure
Record project results and the evidence behind them, together with your partners. This stage comes after the core platform works well for members.
Impact records
Planned for V2Record outputs and outcomes for shared projects, each with a reporting period, unit, method and evidence.
Progress records with clear definitions that feed back into your next assessment.
Self-reported results are never presented as independently verified impact.
Your first weeks in the pilot
Five steps take a new organisation from registration to its first recommendations. You can pause after any step and pick up where you left off.
- 1RegisterCreate your account and create or request access to your organisation. We only ask for essentials at this point.
- 2Build your profileAdd your mission, countries, themes and experience. Preview what's public before you publish.
- 3Submit for verificationUpload the evidence we request. Track the review and answer any questions from your reviewer.
- 4Take the assessmentAnswer questions across eight capacity areas. You can do this while verification is under review.
- 5Get recommendationsSee suggested courses, templates and guides, each with the reason it was suggested.
- Save longer forms and return later on any device.
- Invite colleagues to help, with roles that control what they can change.
- Your dashboard always shows the next useful action.
Results inform what you work on next
The six stages aren't a one-way path. What you learn from your projects should shape your next assessment, so development builds on real experience rather than starting again each time.
Measure
Record what your projects achieved and what the evidence shows.
Reassess
Answer the assessment again with those results in mind.
New priorities
See which areas have moved and which now need attention.
Develop
Get updated recommendations for the areas that matter now.
Then the cycle continues with your next projects.
Start with the first three stages
Verify, diagnose and develop are planned for the V1 pilot. Register your organisation's interest and help us shape how they work.
