WHO WE SUPPORT

Grant Giving Form

We fund projects and initiatives run by charities and non profit organisations with the ambition to create a more inclusive society. We fund both projects working on systemic change, as well as those with a more particular focus within the world of financial services.

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS DO WE FUND?

We focus on funding projects which are about putting inclusion into practice, especially with a focus on the world of financial services. It is crucial that we can measure and monitor the impact these projects have.

You can see some examples of projects we’ve funded in the past. 

We love to support grass roots projects where we can give funding as well as practical support to access the financial services industry through our connections and experience. We also fund projects which are solving these problems at a broader societal level.

We will fund projects for organisations which:

  • Have access to and are working with or otherwise supporting our target beneficiaries (i.e. individuals and communities that are impacted)
  • Can show they are sustainable and can provide evidence of good financial

HOW BIG ARE THE GRANTS WE MAKE?
