Funding
Funding allows us all to continue our work. In our 2009 survey 60% of Transact members said that securing funding for either new or existing work was a major concern over the next year. In the current economic climate it is vital that organisations working hard to tackle financial inclusion are aware of all the funding opportunities out there. Transact provides information to members about current funding opportunities as well as managing funding for certain areas of financial inclusion.
