Institutional grants
Programme grants with formal monitoring, evaluation and reporting frameworks.
Foundations, multilaterals and government programmes
Best for
- Multi-year programme grants
- Evaluated pilots
- Consortium delivery with larger partners
We work with institutional funders on defined programmes with agreed indicators, baselines and independent evaluation where the grant requires it.
We are a mid-sized organisation and say so: for grants above a certain size we would rather partner with a larger implementer than over-commit and under-deliver.
