The Challenge
Struggling to gain partners for world-changing sustainability
Renewvia’s groundbreaking work in Africa brings innovative solar panel and mini-grid installations to rural communities that lack access to national grids.
Through these efforts, Renewvia serves as a key partner in radically transforming lives in underserved communities, helping launch new small businesses, improving access to life-saving healthcare, increasing school attendance, and more.
Given its track record of success, Renewvia had government permission to expand to more communities in several African nations. But they were struggling to secure funding from key nonprofit and philanthropic partners who share Renewvia’s commitment to the human-impact side of solar work. While Renewvia had successfully raised traditional investment funds, they lacked the experience and messaging to reach nonprofit decision-makers.
The Solution
Messaging and positioning built to win hearts and minds
Beginning with a sprint-style workshop, Historic partnered with Renewvia to develop a comprehensive messaging toolbox—a framework designed to translate their values and mission into a message that better resonates with philanthropic and nonprofit leaders.
We also developed a campaign strategy, including visual assets and messaging, to equip Renewvia’s team to cultivate nonprofit partnerships that amplify impact across Africa.
Our expert-led nonprofit partnership training set up Renewvia to nurture new partnerships, grow their donor base, and raise more funds.
The Result
Breaking through to new audiences and partners
Equipped with development training, tools, and a confident message that inspires action, Renewvia launched a successful campaign season. By cultivating new partnerships with prominent nonprofit leaders, Renewvia is delivering maximum sustainability impact with a humanity-first focus.
