FundingSourcesandAllotments

• Belantara aims to have several sources of  funders/donors to support the institution initiatives, such as : General Public, High Net‐Worth Individuals, Private Funding, and Public Funding.

• Belantara will provide various docks for the funding, such as:Crowdsource funding, Philanthropic Funding, and Project / Institutional Funding.

• The funding will be classified into two types: the sinking fund (100% of the funding will be utilisedfor projects/initiatives, while endowment fund will invest the funding and utilised its certain portion of profit to the project/initiatives (while keeping the funding to be revolved).

• Funds flowing into Belantara may have two main typologies of use: Sinking Fund & Endowment Fund

•The endowment arm is to allow Belantarathrough a portfolio of income‐generating outlets grow available funds to further support its projects and operations. 

•3 major modalities to manage endowment, through: 1) Market‐based investments (equities, securities, bonds, futures, etc.); 2) Impact Investments (smallholder financing, carbon sequestration, etc.); 3) Business Units (seed nurseries, consultancy/advisory companies, etc.)

•The sinking arm is Belantara’s main typology of fund disbursements through grant‐making efforts to finance self initiatives and submitted initiatives from implementing partners.

MRVProcess&ImpactReport

• Credible sustainability impact report is crucial as part of the evaluation process. 

Robust key performance indicators (KPI) that are customised per initiatives to analyse the success rate in project level as well as in the greater‐scale level.

Further Update:

Work on the Foundation’s Communication Protocols According to the direction from the Minister of Environment and Forestry GoI and Directorate General 

of Natural Resources Conservation and Ecosystem; there is a need to  revise the usage of specific terminologies in Belantara’s external communications material.

Positioning of the foundation: Grant‐making institution that facilitate the funding for initiatives of conservation, restoration, protection, and community development initiatives within the targeted grant distribution areas.

Avoid the usage of term “Belantara’s landscape” as it could mislead the public perception, it could be interpreted as Belantara owning or has the authority to manage the landscape (in which it is the authority of the government).

Avoid the usage of term “10‐critical landscapes”  as directed by the Minister of Environment and Forestry.

Avoid the usage of term that could be interpreted as Belantara is the implementer of a project, since in fact Belantara is the funder / facilitator for the projects/ initiative.

Terminology revision: Landscape/ Bentang Alam = Ekosistem / Area Hibah) – to be discussed

Comms of Belantara will Prepare specific message for target audiences according to the protocol and revise the communication material (prints/online/etc).
