Peter Minet joins campaign for open and trusting grantmaking

A call for open and trusting grant-making

A new campaign has been launched by IVAR and London Funders, in collaboration with a small group of UK foundations and charities including Peter Minet Trust. They are calling on funders to adopt more open and trusting practices that make life easier for those they fund, in light of the ongoing uncertainty caused by Covid-19. Their ambition is to see these commitments extend beyond the crisis: to become standard practice in the sector.

We are one of 50 funders who have already signed up to the eight commitments and joined a community of practice with funders and charities to improve practice together. Find out more and sign up today: www.ivar.org.uk/flexible-funders
