HOW WE WORK
As well as project-based grants, we provide core funding with the view that this enables organisations to focus on the work that they believe is most important, and provides the space for self-reflection and creativity, which is key to a successful organisation.
We aim to establish long-term funding relationships in order to provide recipients with security to enable long-term planning and so that we can support projects as they evolve and are refined.
The grant cycle will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but partnerships will usually start with a one 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.
