• Develop a calendar of funding calls for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 cycles distinguishing open, recurring, and historical opportunities
• Analyze systemic barriers that prevent community organizations from accessing finance (formalization requirements, legal structure, co-financing, guarantees, reporting capacity)
• Propose access pathways tailored to different maturity stages, legal forms, and value chains
• Deliver a practical user guide and conduct knowledge transfer sessions with our client's acceleration team
• Participate in bi-weekly coordination meetings to report progress on deliverables
