LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
Networking & collaboration for leaders in the social impact sector
A 12-month programme supporting social impact leaders to come together to tackle the problems impacting us all.
The 2025 Resource Alliance Leadership Programme convenes a global and diverse community of social impact sector leaders who work together on solutions to the biggest issues facing our sector right now.
We are at a turning point in human history, where unprecedented disruption exists alongside remarkable opportunities for progress.
The 2025 Resource Alliance Leadership Programme empowers a global community of leaders to address the biggest challenges facing the social impact sector right now. Together, we explore how we can more effectively tackle systemic barriers, mobilise financial, human and intellectual resources, and co-create solutions that drive collective progress.
At this pivotal moment, as traditional power structures are questioned, we embrace ecosystems, collaboration, and innovation. We create a global network of visionary leaders, provide a safe space to incubate and challenge new thinking, and develop actionable tools for advancing sector-wide transformation.

How does it work?
The 2024 programme consists of four full-group Leadership Summits (three virtual, one in-person) and four smaller-group Action Lab meetings. The focus and topics of each meeting are based on an extensive consultation with and surveys of leaders across the sector, to ensure the content delivered on the ambition and priorities of the group.
This year, the Summits will focus on Future Trends, New Models, Collaboration, and Action. The Action Labs will work together on key areas of Fundraising Innovation, Strategy & People, and Climate. To understand more about how these meetings are designed and delivered, download the full 2025 Leadership Programme Brochure.
What does it cost?
The fee to participate in the programme for 12 months is only £895. This provides access to the three online summits, a minimum of four Action Lab meetings, and the in-person leadership summit in the Netherlands (including airport transfers, drinks reception, accommodation and full-board catering). That is a total of 20 hours in live collaborative meetings with a powerful global leadership community, as well as access to our digital platform which provides year-round support, networking and collaboration, plus a lifetime of impactful relationships with your leadership peers!
