What we fund

We want to fund organisations whose sole focus is on increasing the quality and scale of the giving of time, assets, skills and/​or funding.

We want to support projects that set out to develop stronger, more open and inclusive links between organisations giving time, assets, skills and/​or funding donors and the voluntary and community sector.

Our aim is to improve the voluntary and community sector’s sustainability, particularly around issues, places or communities that currently struggle to secure support.

Projects we fund must benefit the inhabitants of Greater London.

Funding staff costs

We will not usually pay for staff costs beyond one full-time equivalent staff post. For example, we could pay for one full-time staff member, or two part-time staff, both working 17.5 hours a week. We will only fund staff posts that are paid the London Living Wage or above.
