Strategic partnerships Blood:Water prioritizes eight-year partnerships with growth-stage, locally-led organizations in East and Southern Africa, presenting a stable, long-term funding and capacity-building opportunity for potential funders or allied nonprofits seeking sustained impact.

Flexible funding model The organization combines organizational strengthening investments with flexible funding to support community-led health and resilience, indicating openness to phased or multi-year grants, matched funding, or capacity-building programs appealing to donor portfolios seeking adaptability.

SDG alignment Focus on accelerating SDG 3 (good health) and SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) via locally-led partners suggests potential for impact investing, grant programs, or corporate partnerships centered on health access, WASH infrastructure, and community resilience.

Funding gap opportunity Blood:Water notes underfunding of locally-led organizations, with less than 10 percent of global funding and negligible flexible funding, signaling a clear opportunity for donors to expand flexible support and capacity-building grants to strengthen local ecosystems.

Technology and reach Existing tech stack and digital footprint (various tools and platforms) combined with a regional focus points to opportunities for tech-enabled fundraising, partner onboarding efficiencies, and data-driven impact reporting collaborations with donors seeking transparency and scalable programs.
