Aims and activities
The movement is an opportunity for people working in grant giving to collaborate. Together, we seek to challenge the status quo on issues such as where endowments are invested, where power lies, systems change and the role of philanthropy in tackling some of society’s most pressing problems. Ultimately, it’s about joining up and improving grant-making from within.
Activities:
- Conversation: We exist to connect grant makers and to facilitate meaningful discussion around the challenges in our sector.
- Research: We conduct research, through the design and distribution of 'sector pulse surveys', followed by focus groups and interviews, to explore the key issues affecting our sector.
- Collaboration: We meet regularly with umbrella organisations, regulatory bodies, influential grant makers and agenda-setting organisations to share the findings of our research and put pressure on our sector to change for the better.
