OUR AIMS

Our strategic aims for 2012 and some of our current work that supports them are set out on these pages. During 2012 we will continue to develop partnerships and activities under our core themes. We place a particular emphasis on maximising the beneficial impact of our work through encouraging cross-border exchanges of lessons and experiences.

Cultural Understanding

To help improve people's perception of each other by providing opportunities for interaction through culture and between cultures.

Fulfilling Potential

To assist the most disadvantaged in society to fulfill their potential by building connections and developing opportunities...

Environment

To help in the development of a society which benefits from a more sustainable relationship with the natural world and understands the value of its resources.

Maximising Social and Cultural Value

To contribute to enhanced effectiveness of the organisations we work with, maintaining an interest in sectoral developments and seeking to influence others in maximising social and cultural value.

HOW WE WORK

    • To achieve a greater impact, we are supporting fewer organisations with larger amounts of money.
    • We work proactively by identifying needs and collaborating with a number of key organisations to help meet them.
    • We support projects, partnerships and, indirectly, people.
    • These partnerships and activities are selected by the Foundation and are time-limited from one to four years.
    • Occasionally, we will invite new funding proposals where appropriate.
    • We place an emphasis on evaluating the impact achieved and communicating the lessons to those who can take these forward and help exact a greater impact.

      WHERE WE FUND

      The UK Branch of the Foundation funds only not-for-profit organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We support projects outside London in preference to those based in the capital. Although funding at national, regional and local levels, we want to ensure that we support projects that have a benefit beyond the locality in which they are situated, and which have potential for future international application.
