Most non-profits don’t fail because of a lack of intent or funding.?They struggle because digital decisions are made without clarity.

As organisations plan for 2026, digital often becomes a checklist:

  • A new website
  • Another tool
  • A marketing push
  • An app idea

Without a clear strategy, these investments rarely deliver the impact they promise.

The Non-Profit Digital Clarity Fellowship 2026 is a focused initiative by Refresh Ideas to help five impact organisations step into 2026 with clear digital priorities, aligned leadership, and confident decision-making.

This is not an audit.

This is not free execution.

This is a thinking partnership—offered selectively.

Applications are limited to 5 organisations.

Why This Fellowship Exists

Over the years, we’ve worked closely with established NGOs and foundations.
A consistent pattern emerges:

  • Digital budgets exist
  • Leadership intent exists
  • Outcomes often don’t

Not because of poor teams or lack of commitment—but because clarity comes too late.

Digital initiatives are often:

  • Reactive
  • Vendor-led
  • Tool-driven
  • Disconnected from program and fundraising realities

This fellowship exists to address that gap—before execution begins.

What This Fellowship Is (And Is Not)

What It Is

  • A strategy-first clarity engagement
  • Designed for leadership teams
  • Focused on direction, prioritisation, and alignment
  • Grounded in real-world NGO constraints and stakeholder expectations

What It Is Not

  • A free digital audit
  • A pitch for services
  • A development or marketing giveaway
  • Tactical execution support

Clarity is the outcome.

Execution, if any, is a separate decision—later.

Fellowship Structure

Each selected organisation will receive:

1

Facilitated Digital Clarity Session

A deep, structured conversation with senior stakeholders

2

Mission Digital Alignment

How digital initiatives support programs, fundraising, and impact visibility

3

Priority Mapping for 2026

What to invest in, what to pause, and what to stop

4

Decision-Ready Clarity Brief

A concise summary suitable for:

  • Internal planning

  • Board discussions

  • Donor and stakeholder conversations

Many organisations use this clarity to justify future digital
investments with confidence
—and avoid costly missteps.

Who This Fellowship Is Designed For

This fellowship is intentionally niche.

Ideal for:

  • Registered NGOs, Trusts, or Foundations
  • Organisations with active programs and measurable outcomes
  • Leadership teams preparing annual plans or budgets for 2026
  • NGOs that have previously invested—or plan to invest—in digital initiatives

Not designed for:

  • Organisations seeking free execution or development
  • Early-stage ideas or individual initiatives
  • Teams without decision-making authority
  • NGOs with no planned digital investment for 2026

If digital matters to your organisation’s future, this fellowship is relevant.
