FUNDING AND INVESTMENT

Funding and
investment attraction

Support to turn a promising project into a clear, credible proposition. Irakaha helps organisations strengthen funding and investment readiness, articulate their value and prepare for conversations with potential funders and partners.

Let’s kōrero

Based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Working across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Bring the purpose and proposition together

A project can have a strong purpose and still need work before it is ready for funding or investment conversations. A credible proposition brings together the outcomes, the delivery approach and the case for support in a way potential partners can understand.

Our work is shaped around your project, its stage of development and the people and communities it serves. We support businesses, trusts, iwi, Māori organisations and community enterprises in Christchurch and across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Areas of support

Funding and investment readiness

Support to understand how developed a proposition is, identify what needs strengthening and consider the next steps before approaching potential funders or investors.

Project development and business cases

Advisory and consulting support to bring a project’s purpose, intended outcomes and delivery approach into a coherent business case or funding proposition.

Investment attraction and partnership positioning

Support to articulate the value of a project or opportunity, consider suitable funding and partnership pathways, and strengthen its positioning for conversations with potential partners.

Proposals and partner conversations

Support to bring together proposals, presentations and the funding story, shaped around the opportunity and the audience. An engagement can include preparation for funder and partner conversations.

A few useful details

Does a project need to be fully developed before we talk?

No. An initial kōrero can help identify what is already in place and what would make the proposition clearer. Support can begin with project scoping and readiness, before a full proposal is developed.

Who is this support for?

Organisations developing a project, seeking funding or preparing for investment and partnership conversations. The approach is tailored to businesses, trusts, iwi, Māori organisations and community enterprises.
