Temporal Alignment
Are Our Timelines Mismatched?
Answer these five questions to assess whether your capital cycles are aligned with your mission timescales.
Do your funding cycles (annual budgets, grant periods) end before your programs can demonstrate meaningful outcomes?
Are you frequently required to show 'impact' on timescales that don't match the actual pace of change in your mission area?
Do you find yourselves redesigning or pivoting programs to fit funder timelines rather than mission needs?
Is there pressure to pursue quick wins at the expense of longer-term systemic change?
Would extending your capital horizon by 5-10 years fundamentally change what programs you could pursue?
