Our services

For funders, governments, purpose-driven companies, and consortia, Pontum offers four core areas of support:

Strategic & Organizational Adaptation • Consortium & Collaborative Partnership Design • Funding & Resource Strategy • Innovation & Systems Transformation

For Funders

Navigating new restrictions on resource mobilization or considering funding via consortia, intermediaries, or pooled funds?

How Pontum helps:

  • Design funding mechanisms and strategies to reach diverse organizations efficiently.

  • Identify ecosystem dependencies, bureaucratic hurdles, and bottlenecks for smooth fund flow.

  • Model consortia and pooled fund scenarios, weighing trade-offs between reach, efficiency, and inclusion.

  • Advise on grantmaking approaches to foster participation of smaller/local actors.

  • Support piloting consortium-based arrangements and define reporting frameworks aligned with funder priorities.

For Governments

Facing new responsibilities in service delivery as the international development model evolves? Growing demands, shifting funding, and the need for new partnerships can stretch current project management systems, making it harder to turn resources into real impact.

How Pontum helps:

  • Mobilize resources and develop strategic partnerships, including designing investment and project pipelines, to advance initiatives such as climate action or health service delivery.

  • Redesign project management systems and internal processes to prevent bottlenecks, apply lessons from successful programs in other contexts, and ensure initiatives are implemented effectively, on time, and within budget.

For Purpose-Driven Companies


Navigating how to advance both business and social impact amid evolving technologies and international development dynamics? From AI to digital platforms to climate tech, these can reshape your possibilities.

How Pontum helps:

  • Support cross-sector initiatives that advance business and social impact goals, leveraging lessons from other sectors and regions to accelerate learning and minimize missteps.

  • Identify technology-driven opportunities for business innovation and growth, separating substance from hype.

  • Adapt organizational systems, risk approaches, and stakeholder engagement strategies to integrate new technologies without disrupting core mission or market position.

For Consortia

Are you forming or joining a consortium to seize a funding opportunity or to pool resources? While consortia can unlock funding and share responsibilities, tight timelines often leave governance, decision-making, and coordination overlooked.

How Pontum helps:

  • Establish the core operating framework quickly: governance, decision-making, joint workplans, and communication protocols.
