Technology and data, deployed well, are multipliers of social good.
The esynergy Civil Society Fund is a way for us to reinvest a share of the profits from our Not-for-Profit work back into the sector.
Charities need a new kind of partner
We believe that technology and data, deployed well, are multipliers of social good. The Civil Society Fund is our commitment to ensuring that the organisations doing the most important work in our communities have access to the resources they need — not just consultancy, but capital
Charities and NGOs are under increasing pressure. Demand is rising, grants are harder to secure, and organisations are being asked to do more with less.
Technology and data can help change that. But too many organisations lack access to the capital, expertise and capacity needed to invest in digital infrastructure.
esynergy Not-for-Profit was founded to help close that gap. We work with charities and NGOs to use technology, data and AI in ways that support their mission and improve outcomes.
The Civil Society Fund takes that commitment further.
It turns commercial success in our Not-for-Profit practice into direct, structured support for the organisations doing vital work in our communities.
The idea is simple.
A share of the profits generated by our Not-for-Profit practice is reinvested into the Civil Society Fund. The fund then supports charities and NGOs through grants, operational drawdowns and practical support.
The more successful we are in helping organisations use technology and data well, the more we can reinvest back into the sector.
