Become an open and trusting grantmaker with IVAR

Adopt the eight commitments to open and trusting grant-making
Share what you are doing to put them into practice
Be part of a community of practice with other funders to help us adapt and improve
Be held to account through a collaborative review, involving charities (this is currently being co-designed)

We’d love you to sign up even if you are not yet working on all of the eight commitments – it’s fine to just share your future plans.

Please note that applications should be submitted by UK trusts and foundations only.

If you are based outside of the UK, Catalyst 2030 and the Philanthropy Initiative from Wings share information about initiatives which may be useful to you.

If you are a UK-based charity, you can influence funding practice by joining our peer support drop-ins for charity leaders. Sign up to this mailing list to hear about upcoming opportunities.
