• Identify if you are eligible to list on the Deal Share Platform. The main criteria is that you must have at least one AVPN member endorsing your work. Endorsements from AVPN Members mean that your work has been supported by the member via financial and/or non-financial support, and the member has a good understanding of your work. To identify an endorser, you may refer to our AVPN member list, or fill up a short Endorser Scan Form to identify potential endorsers. 

• Submit your deal or project. If you are eligible to list: Complete the Deal Submission Form to get your project or organisation to be listed on the DSP, indicating the identified AVPN endorsing member and contact details of the person you have been liaising with in the form. The Capital Mobilisation Team will verify the endorsement with the indicated AVPN Member Representative before publishing the listing. IOs may also choose to submit more than one project to be listed on the DSP.

• Refer to this sample deal in your preparation for the submission. This sample deal guides you in structuring your project for maximum effectiveness.

• Use this PDF version of the form for reference of the questions asked prior to filling up the online form.*Note: AVPN Deal Share does not provide any due-diligence support for deals listed on the DSP.

• An Endorsement means that your Organisation has been supported by the AVPN member via financial and/or non-financial means, and that the member has a good understanding of your work. Endorsements help to build trust and lower barriers for engagement for Impact Organisations. 
• To be listed on the Deal Share Platform, IOs will require an AVPN member to endorse their project on the DSP.
• The endorsing member and its contact person will appear on the IO’s page.
• If you are submitting a deal as an AVPN member, you cannot endorse your own deals and would require another AVPN member for the endorsement.

As the Deal Share Platform is a Members-only platform, only AVPN members will be able to see the full details of the deals. The deal page will be visible across our 600+ wide AVPN member network.

In the event that an IO is presenting at an Impact Live event, their Deal Page will be made public to all audiences for a limited period of time, where their profile will be linked across the DSP as well as Deal Share Live event webpages to increase visibility.

*Note: By proceeding with the Deal Share Platform submission, you are giving consent to AVPN to collect and use your organisation and personal data for the purposes of and in accordance with AVPN’s Data Protection Policy.

Unless otherwise specified, deals will be listed until the round of funding closes or non-financial support has been met. For IOs, we suggest refreshing your listing every year, or when there are specific milestones achieved.

When the needs of your organisation or project has changed, such as your financial and/or non-financial asks, IOs will be asked to fill up the Deal Refresh Form. You may fill up the sections of the form where changes are required. 

In short, AVPN does not manage the programmes/projects that are listed on the DSP and would not be able to guarantee a match.

What we aim to achieve is ecosystem building through facilitating meaningful connections:

• • Members/Funders with IOs – Connect AVPN members with IOs whose projects require further resources to scale and to operate sustainably. We do this through providing members with landscape knowledge and insights on IOs’ activities, which allows us to help members identify, shortlist and connect with quality projects that are relevant to their specific areas of work.
    
    
    •  Read about how a Vietnamese non-profit connected with foundations and our previous Impact Live Sessions, to learn about the Deal Share Platform facilitates targeted connections between AVPN members and IOs that result in fruitful partnerships to scale impactful projects.
      
      
    •  Listen to what our partners and IO community are saying about the work that we do.
   
  • IOs with other IOs –  IOs can also be connected with other IOs to explore collaboration opportunities, especially if they operate within the same sector and/or when they would like to scale to different markets. Reach out to the Capital Mobilisation Team at [email protected] and we will be happy to make those introductions for you!
