How we work
Patient money, honest partnership.
Evocative, fictional introduction to how we operate — how we choose where to work, how we make grants, and how we hold ourselves accountable for outcomes.
Evidence, not ego
We fund what the data says works — and we say so out loud when it doesn't.
Closest to the problem
Lasting change is led by the people living the problem, so we resource them directly.
Patient, brave money
We can fund ideas too early or too uncertain for anyone else, and stay for the long haul.
Never alone
Our job is rarely to act — it's to catalyze partners across sectors toward a shared goal.
How a grant comes to life
- 01
Listen & learn
We start with communities and evidence — not a solution we've already picked.
- 02
Set a strategy
We define clear, measurable goals for each area we choose to work in.
- 03
Fund partners
We make grants to the organizations best placed to deliver the change.
- 04
Measure & adapt
We track outcomes honestly and adjust — or exit — based on what we find.
