What we fund
The Foundations grant-making aims to help strengthen the long-term impact, efficiency and/or sustainability of charitable organisations. As such, the Foundations have a focus on the capacity of charities, by which we mean the capability, knowledge and resources that non-profit organisations need to be effective. The Foundations therefore support activity that significantly enhances an organisation’s ability to achieve its mission.
We appreciate that every organisation’s capacity building needs differ and seek to understand what will have the most impact, which may include funding for organisational/strategy development, investment in leadership development, technology, or activity to enable efficiency, support growth or financial sustainability.
For the most part, the Foundations consider supporting organisations which have an annual budget of over £1m or $1m. The Foundations also enable field-building by providing support to non-profit organisations that offer capacity-building programmes that benefit multiple organisations in our priority programme areas.
Our approach to grant-making
The Foundations do not seek unsolicited proposals and have an invitation-only application process. Through research, insights from peer trusts and foundations and the organisations we support, we pro-actively identify organisations that we would like to learn more about. Where appropriate, organisations are invited to submit a short concept note. Where appropriate, organisations may then be invited to submit a full application.
During our due diligence process, which usually involves a site visit, we seek to understand an organisation as a whole, including its leadership and governance, impact, how it engages with the communities it seeks to serve, operations and financial management - and how the project proposed will help an organisation strengthen its ability to deliver its mission.
We ask all organisations that we support to report on progress towards their goals. We appreciate valuable learning from grants made and use this to inform our grant-making. Where helpful we also connect grantees to learn from each other.
The Foundations have a small dedicated team led by Lenka Setkova, Chief Executive of the Foundations, and Trustees of each of the Foundations make decisions as to which projects to support.

The idea is to have alternate grey/white backgrounds
And for the images to go left/right if you have multiple text/media grids. The image can also be a video.
You also have the option of different kinds of CTAs. Primary and secondary are used below.
Not sure what is going on with that grey bit to the left above
And then you can use Tertiary or just a text link below.
But only ever two CTAs, regardless of type.
although remember you can just put linkks in the copy but NEVER say that you can find out about our accessibility statement here.
Just noticed that guy is wearing a hat indoors so is probably not to be trusted.
