Supporting resilient and equitable small-scale fisheries globally.
The Small Scale Fisheries Funder Network (SSFFN) supports collaboration and learning for philanthropies to improve small-scale fisheries outcomes for the benefit of communities, food security, economies, and the environment.
Programming

Each year, the network hosts four webinars featuring guest speakers and provide time for ample discussion. The webinar topics are determined based on the annual learning goals of network members and have covered a range of topics, including: sustainable fisheries, gender and equity in SSF, communications, capacity building, impact investing, and monitoring, evaluation and learning.
-
Each quarter, the network hosts an informal call for Funders to connect, provide updates on their work, and reach out to colleagues for collaboration and support. These calls also offer an opportunity for funder learning exchange and discussion.
-
Connecting with the work of grantees provides funders an opportunity to learn about challenges, opportunities, and successes when funds are implemented. Twice a year, the network hosts calls to provide opportunities for learning from grantees.

Our newsletter keeps members informed with meeting recaps, webinar recordings, relevant news from the field, upcoming events, and funding opportunities.
