WHAT WE DO
We know the challenges your BAMER nonprofit
is up against
A resilient nonprofit organisation is one ready to respond to contingencies when they strike, but the recent disruption of COVID-19 highlighted the disproportionate hit on underrepresented Black, Asian, Multi-Ethnic and Refugee (BAMER) communities, charities and social enterprises.
Across the UK, these groups have a deeper understanding of their own communities and are best placed to reach out and help the most vulnerable and excluded. But this comes with a challenge; trying to operate and make a difference with limited resources, meaning that it can take years to gain momentum and build capacity.
AVOCADO+ guides fellow nonprofits on how to become more resilient, and create opportunities and new ways of working to deliver sustainable funding and impact.

AVOCADO+
A self-improving training programme for UK registered BAMER charities and social enterprises designed to improve:
- Leadership
- Sustainability
- Fundraising Capabilities
AVOCADO+ was founded in 2016, following our successful Avocado pilot launch.
A tailored training programme, underpinned by the Charities Aid Foundation’s six characteristics of a resilient charity, it gives your organisation a framework to determine goals that we work through together and map out pre-defined, concrete actions that will help you achieve them.
The outcome? Operational efficiencies and funding success that leads to the growth and impact of your BAMER-led charity or social enterprise.
Our experience over the last few years, along with overwhelming supporting evidence, demonstrates that BAMER-led enterprises benefit significantly from intense capacity building support.
That’s why we want to deliver bespoke training and support in governance, finance and leadership; key elements needed to boost your fundraising activities.
Our programme equips you with the tools and confidence you need to survive and thrive, tapping into and maximising your potential.
Our complete programme gives you a fresh approach to training, governance, finance, coaching and income diversification. And our consultants break down the complex and place it in scenarios you can relate to.
We learn together and talk through new ideas and ways of thinking so that by the end of the programme, your fired up confidence in fundraising and operating effectively will see you raring to go, knowing the positive impact it will have on your beneficiaries.
“The funny thing about training programmes is that you don’t realise how useful they are until you’ve completed one!”
We have two versions of AVOCADO+ available. Scroll down to see what best suits your organisation’s needs.
