    #002: Funding the Future with Nisha DSouza from EcoNiche

    In this episode, Alyssa chats with Nisha D'Souza, founder of EcoNiche, a conservation consultancy based in India helping frontline organisations build the systems they need to create lasting impact. Nisha shares how she left her role at IUCN to start EcoNiche in 2019, only to face COVID overnight. She opens up about walking away from a paying contract that didn't align with her mission, writing a winning Chanel Foundation proposal the night before her wedding, and why planting a million trees isn't the same as creating real impact. From helping a nomadic tribal community get included in India's census through a mangrove aquaculture project, to converting abandoned salt pans into thriving wetland habitat for migratory birds — this episode is full of powerful stories about what conservation looks like when it's done right.

    #001: Nat Heath from Trimob on winning funding as a new nonprofit

    The conversation explores the financial challenges faced by Nat Heath and his organization, highlighting the struggle for funding and the innovative approaches taken to secure financial sustainability through reconciliation action plans and cultural awareness initiatives. Takeaways The first eight months were financially challenging. Living off breadcrumbs was a reality for us. Funding was hard to come by due to organizational gaps. Organizations preferred consultants over direct investment. We sought to create legitimacy through our work. Reconciliation action plans became a funding strategy. Cultural awareness initiatives were also leveraged for funding. Investing in grassroots organizations can yield better results. Support for organizations should be more direct and less transactional. Innovative funding solutions are essential for sustainability.
