Our funded programmes

Everyone deserves to thrive. But not everyone gets the same opportunities, so we’re focused on some of the toughest challenges imaginable.

  • Getting started – Supporting families to give their young children a strong start.
  • Building independence – Helping young people move into adulthood with confidence, skills and hope.
  • Safer futures – Supporting people to rebuild their lives after abuse, displacement or prison.

We help our partners transform more lives with flexible funding and access to our network of exceptional like-minded peers.

In each of these priority areas we run grant programmes with clear aims and criteria. You can see which programmes are currently open below. If your work aligns with our priorities but funding isn’t open right now, sign up to our mailing list  to hear when it is.
