In a world where non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development, access to effective and timely financing is essential to their success. One such organization that has risen to the challenge is TANGO (the Association), a lifeline for NGOs striving to make a difference on a global scale.
The challenge facing NGOs
NGOs often struggle to access reliable and sustainable funding, which can significantly hamper their ability to effectively implement programs and projects that generate positive change. Additionally, the complexity and ever-changing landscape of grant writing, reporting, and fundraising can be overwhelming for small organizations with limited resources. This is where TANGO comes in – as a trusted partner, bridging the gap between funders and NGOs.

Victims of sustainability: TANGO’s success stories
TANGO’s member-driven approach has resulted in tangible successes across diverse industries and geographies.

In another case, a global health-focused organization leveraged TANGO’s capacity development services, achieving a 25% increase in fundraising revenue over two years.
