Deliver impact with an effective grant programme
Grantmaking is all about helping charities respond to areas of pressing need, enable vital service delivery and boost their resilience in the long-term.
Together, we can design and deliver your grant programme to help maximise your impact and manage risk.
To do this, we bring together the social need and your strategic goals as a funder. Our end-to-end grantmaking service ensures you’re offering an effective and efficient programme that creates real impact in the communities you support.
Our ambitious and innovative approach aims to inspire funders to enable fair, accessible and transparent grantmaking practices.
Designing your grant programme
We design programmes that target specific areas of social need, often identified by our own research. We work with you to meet these needs, in line with your ambitions, so that together we can make a difference to the lives of individuals and communities across the UK and internationally.
As grant makers we promote engaged and active philanthropy, working with our funders to improve their effectiveness and ability to achieve impact in the long term. We can help you:
- Design a programme to achieve your desired impact
- Ensure your grantmaking meets distinct areas of social need
- Navigate the challenges of making grants
- Focus your programme to ensure it reaches the right applicants
Delivering your grant programme
We can ensure your grant programme runs efficiently. We can help you:
- Target and market your grant programme effectively
- Encourage diversity of applicants
- Provide guidance on the application process
- Carry out a robust process of charity selection, including charity verification for non-UK charities
- Pay grants on your behalf
- Monitor the progress of grants through an online platform
- Capture the outcomes of your programme
Measuring your impact
Our monitoring and evaluation process allows us to measure the impact of your grants and provide valuable insights to make greater impact. We aim to ensure that the grants meet expected outcomes and can improve the programme based on initial learnings. Our learnings and prior experience help inform the design of new programmes.
We also capture and share the stories of the grants to evidence their impact.
