Funding for the future.

Our approach to grant making is that we direct most of our funding, in consultation with our community and based on evidence and insight of what the challenges are, where our focus should be, and what are the most effective solutions.

We know that we must also retain the flexibility to fund unexpected and new ideas that help to fulfill our mission and surpass our existing plans. If you are looking for grant funding, we invite you to share your idea with us through our LinkedIn group, where you can engage with our wider community. If, after discussion, we think it is an area we’d like to explore further, we may invite you to apply.

We also invite applications through specific open, competitive calls and our small grants scheme. To learn more about these opportunities, please visit our Calls for Funding page.
