What We Fund
We build, run and fund initiatives with the potential to change society for the better. We also make grants to people and organisations doing innovative work across a range of causes. Whilst we are cause-agnostic, we are prioritising work that:
Addresses corporate harm - challenging corporate power and holding them to account where corporate behaviour harms individual health and communities. This can include sectors such as water, pharmaceuticals, and food.
Prevents avoidable deaths - supporting work that tackles preventable loss of life.
What We Look For
Our process is relational and tailored to each partnership and area of work, but in general we prioritise work that can demonstrate a clear route to real-world impact, including:
Strong leadership – tenacious teams and individuals with a clear vision, the skills to deliver change, and robust financial management.
Benefits for the many, not the few – work that can be scaled, with impact that extends beyond individual cases.
Focus on underfunded or overlooked issues – tackling neglected social issues where there is manifest injustice. We act as early-stage funders, providing seed funding or gap funding.
Innovation or evidence-building – testing new approaches and generating data or research, including investigative work, that others can use or scale.
Creating wider social and sustainable change – influencing policy, regulation, corporate practice, or social norms. We generally do not fund frontline work unless it is to test an idea that can be scaled.
Urgency and timeliness – seizing opportunities when influence can be maximised, such as policy windows and where short-term tangible outcomes can be achieved.
