We are a relational funder and that means we want to work with you throughout this application process to give you the best chance of succeeding.

The expression of interest form will give us a good idea of how closely you meet the eligibility criteria. This form is enough for us to know how we can support you to succeed. For more information on this be sure to read through our guidance document. The expression of interest form closed on 16 December 2023.

We’ll work closely with you almost like an external consultancy to help us understand your organisation and how our funding can support your future ambitions. 

We will take shortlisted applicants through an evidence-based organisational health check that will support their understanding of their organisation and begin prepping them to gather the information required to succeed in a social investment application. These will result in a report that the potential grantees can review in the future to support their further development. 

This stage completed 16 December 2023.

Those that are moving on to the next stage will receive support and training to help them create a proposal for the grants panel in hopes of becoming funded. Funded or not, every applicant will receive access to on-demand training that will support them to build more impactful and more resilient organisations.

We’ll work with you to draft an action plan and proposal that we will present to our investment committee for their approval. Once approved, we will complete the final steps of our due diligence process and begin processing your grant funding in February 2024.

We know that to achieve your goals capacity building, and more importantly, tailored support is necessary to move in the right direction. Our compensated capacity building programme will meet you where you are and support you all the way until December 2024.
