About


The Social Change Nest


Our fiscal hosting services remove financial barriers so that you can focus on making change. We give you the tools and support to scale and create impact, without imposing any structures that could hinder your amazing work.

As the sister of The Social Change Agency, we have 10 years experience in the nonprofit sector. We have a deep understanding of civil society - the barriers to getting started, and the fiscal and administrative needs of groups and individual changemakers.

Check out our Gitbook to learn all about The Social Change Nest. Open Collective also has a comprehensive Gitbook here. ย 

Our fiscal hosting service


Our service can help you if:

1. Youโ€™ve been holding group funds in a personal bank account and itโ€™s starting to cause headaches
2. You want to receive and manage funds in a more transparent and collaborative way
3. Youโ€™re struggling with the admin of running a group and could use some support
4. Youโ€™d benefit from being part of a community of groups and movements, with access to shared resources and networks
5. Youโ€™re growing fast and need help understanding how to do it responsibly

Additional supportย 


Weโ€™re always looking for new ways to build capacity, community and infrastructure. All with the aim of helping community groups like yours to thrive. Here are just a few ways we do this:

  • Funding opportunities: We share relevant opportunities across our networks. And we highlight partners that can help with grant applications and other funding options.

  • Resources: We gather and share relevant resources and services through our website and other comms channels.

  • Community building: Through events (both in-person and virtual) and our Discord community, we bring like-minded groups together to collaborate, connect and learn.

  • Capacity building: We offer additional support where needed, for example in strategy, comms and marketing, and building out governance structures.

Feesย 


We charge a one-off onboarding fee of ยฃ42, and 5% from the money we host on your behalf. We also provide a grant management service. This means that you can apply for formal grants using us as a host. Please get in touch with us if youโ€™re interested in this grant management.ย
