The Case For Intermediaries

The Aurora Group is a New South Wales-based not-for-profit charity that raises funds to support and empower the LGBTIQ community by giving to organisations that might not otherwise be able to access funding. Oliver Wyman was engaged to develop a report assessing Australia s not-for-profit landscape, including that of LGBTIQ organisations, and determine and demonstrate the role of intermediaries in helping to connect funders with fund-seeking organisations.
The report includes deep dives into the LGBTIQ not-for-profit sector, explores the outlook for charities going forward, and discovers trends in the funding and fund-seeking sides of the sector. Finally, the report presents the case for intermediaries, including their unique positioning in the sector and for LGBTIQ causes more specifically.
