Grantmaking & Advisory

Our grantmaking principles

We believe in connecting donors and nonprofits who share similar values towards achieving their impact and partnership goals.

We collaborate with flexible and open-minded partners with a strong commitment to addressing pressing needs.

We acknowledge the complexity and diversity of contemporary issues, and the combined effort required to tackle them. We work with multiple stakeholders and encourage donors to adopt a flexible approach to their giving.

We trust our partner organisations and celebrate their success.

We partner with local organisations that deeply understand the problems they’re trying to solve and the challenges facing their communities. We recognise that these partners are the ones best placed to address the needs of these local communities.

We focus on root causes of complex and long-standing challenges and work towards systemic change.

We understand that effecting change on a systems level requires patience and the combined efforts of many stakeholders. We encourage donors to take a long-sighted approach to funding local partners to enable them to sustain their work over time.

We invest in the organisational resilience of our local partners.

We work with our social impact partners partners to strengthen their organisational capacity because we believe that stronger organisations will create greater and more sustainable change.
