Matching funders and locally led organisations.

VICO is a matchmaking service connecting funders and locally led organisations, increasing visibility, building confidence, and saving time and money.

What VICO means

Four qualities. One clearer path to opportunity.

VICO helps organisations become visible, investable, connected and operationally ready.

V

Visible

Be seen and understood by the right funders.

I

Investable

Build confidence with clear, credible information.

C

Connected

Form relevant relationships through better matching.

O

Operationally Ready

Show the readiness to act when opportunities arise.

Who VICO is for

Two sides of the same connection.

VICO gives locally led organisations a clearer route to visibility and gives funders a better route to relevant discovery.

For Organisations

Be easier for relevant funders to discover.

Create one structured profile, add supporting evidence and use it as a reusable route into relevant opportunities and relationships.

  • Increase visibility beyond established networks.
  • Reuse structured profile and evidence information.
  • Connect only when both sides want to engage.

Why VICO

From friction to relevant connection.

VICO reduces the cost and complexity of discovery while helping credible organisations become easier to find and assess.

For Organisations
Pain

Low visibility. Repeated proof.

Strong organisations can remain outside established networks and repeatedly spend time proving the same credibility.

Gain

Be seen. Reuse one profile.

Present structured information once and use it to become discoverable by relevant funders and partners.

For Funders
Pain

High search cost. Narrow pipeline.

Discovery beyond existing networks is fragmented, slow and expensive before formal due diligence begins.

Gain

Lower cost. Wider pipeline.

Compare a broader pool of relevant organisations using clearer information and structured matching.

How VICO works

From profile to relevant connection.

A reusable route from organisational information to relevant, consent-based connection.

    EVIDENCE

    Add evidence and readiness information

    Supporting information helps make organisational readiness easier to understand and assess.
