HOW WE WORK
As well as project-based grants, we provide core funding, enabling organisations to focus on the work that they believe is most important. We aim to establish long-term funding relationships in order to so that grantees can tackle challenging issues.
The grant cycle will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but partnerships will usually start with a one or two-year grant.
Once you have been invited to submit an application, we will explain the application process, and help you with any questions you may have.
