The challenge

Safaricom Foundation's CSR portfolio funded 12 community projects annually, but lacked a structured framework to measure impact and attract co-funding from international donors.

What Resmob did

Resmob conducted a Strategic Impact Assessment workshop and redesigned the Foundation's theory of change for three flagship programmes. We trained the CSR team on donor-facing reporting and helped draft co-funding proposals to bilateral agencies.

The outcome

The Foundation secured KES 42 million in co-funding from two bilateral donors within 8 months. Impact reporting quality improved enough to win the EAVCA ESG Award for best social-impact reporting in East Africa.

“Working with Resmob helped us speak the language donors understand. Our CSR reports went from internal documents to fundraising tools.”

Amref Health Africa — Kenya Office

Amref Kenya's fundraising team was over-reliant on three bilateral donors who accounted for 78% of programme funding. A policy shift at one funder threatened a KES 30 million annual gap.

Outcome

Within 18 months, Amref Kenya diversified to 9 active donors, reduced single-donor dependency to 35%, and raised KES 65 million in new funding from foundations and corporates not previously in their pipeline.

Universities and Academic InstitutionsKES 18,500,000

Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology

JKUAT's research office had submitted 14 grant proposals over two years with a 7% success rate. Faculty were writing proposals in isolation with no institutional support, and the grants office lacked a systematic pipeline.

Outcome

Within 12 months, the grants office raised KES 18.5 million across 4 successful proposals — a 29% win rate. The peer-review committee now reviews every proposal before submission, and faculty report 60% less time spent on budgets.
