Funding Panels

Unlike traditional funders, we take an investment-style approach, focusing on the potential of small, early-stage charities and social enterprises to grow, innovate, and become sustainable. Our aim is to back exceptional organisations with the vision and capacity to drive lasting social change.

Our Funding Panels bring together a diverse group of leaders from across the charity, pro bono, and funding sectors to decide where our support can create the greatest long-term impact.

Over a 90-minute session, panel members discuss each organisation in depth, considering both the transformational potential of the grant and the strength of the organisation’s leadership.

Interested in seeing how our funding decisions are made? You can join a funding panel as an observer to gain first-hand insight into our process.
