WE LOVE WHAT WE DO /// AND DO WHAT WE LOVE

Our Team

Our journey began more than 15 years ago when we were working for various NGOs, UN agencies and universities in the development and humanitarian sector. Our main concern: seek funding for our projects and guide our local country office teams in M&E and organisational development. Wonderful times to work on the ground with so many passionate people, see so many country offices grow and projects turning into real live-changing opportunities for thousands of people across the globe.

After settling back in Austria we founded TripleMinds – driven by the passion to accompany social impact organisations in what we had done ourselves successfully over 10 years: identify the right donors and grant opportunities, approach these donors with the right project idea, develop a win-win partnership over time, and observe the changes triggered by these projects.

Looking back we are really proud of our achievements: we have built up a global network of members and supporters of our online funding tool TripleFunds and have effectively raised over €150 million from a wide variety of government agencies, private foundations, and institutional donors. What keeps us going and motivated is the wonderful relationship with and rewarding feedback from the people we work with.
