SERVICE DETAILS
HOW WE FUND
We try to address the needs of individuals by supporting organisations (usually charities). The work we fund ranges from front-line service delivery, through to policy influencing and narrative change.
We recognise the challenges facing many organisations working in our priority areas.
In particular we understand the complexity of their operating environment, and that organisations working in these sectors are often underfunded and overstretched. So we look to help build capacity – at the sector level, the organisation level, and the individual professional level – as well as work with partner granters and other funders to identify gaps and opportunities.
We appreciate the importance of small to medium sized charities in reaching hard to reach people and delivering change. Therefore, most of our funding goes to charities with a turnover of between £150,000 and £1.5 million.
THE OPEN PROGRAMME...
This programme aims to support small to medium sized charities working in three priority areas:
- Migrants and Refugees
- Criminal Justice and Penal Reform
- Human Rights, particularly access to justice
We usually fund single focus organisations working solely in our priority areas. For these organisations, we generally give core funding (unrestricted grants).
Open programme grants are usually between £10,000 to £20,000 and awarded annually.
Application deadlines...
Our Grants Committee meets four times a year to decide upon grant applications.
