Despite civil society organisations being at the forefront of fighting the complex problems of our world, most of them suffer from financial instability due to restricted funding. In 2022, ARIADNE and EDGE Funders Alliance started the Funding For Real Change project to support funders with research, case studies and recommendations to understand the nonprofit starvation cycle and to offer a spectrum of tools for breaking it.

*First fiscal year Annual General Report on activities* Multiplied By One Org was founded entirely via equity. With zero dollars in the organization's bank account for the first four months, dedicated footwork lifted the online support groups off the ground.
