Aims and activities
A group of 6 London Giving Schemes has secured development funding from the Cornerstone Fund for a three-year collaboration. Their project - Givings Together - is currently exploring how Participatory Grantmaking (PGM) can remove barriers that prevent certain communities from accessing grants and support.
Through identifying participatory approaches to grant funding that work well, the group aims to create fair and equitable funding systems and processes that are accessible to all.
How to get involved
Givings Together would appreciate other funders' involvement in our baseline mapping of participatory funding practices and capturing learning and insights.
If you are a place-based giving scheme, funder or other organisation interested in Participatory Grantmaking, please complete our quick survey to inform this research.
For more information about Givings Together, please contact Colin Bowen at Haringey Giving.
