CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN FOUNDATION, UK BRANCH

Grant criteria

We are interested in working with organisations to identify needs and to develop projects which address them. We seek to work with organisations developing ‘next practice’, trialling new – potentially more effective – approaches or addressing unmet needs. Often we will play a role in the development of new initiatives. We have for example, played a catalytic role in the formation of the Making Every Adult Matter coalition, the Marine CoLABoration and the Campaign to End Loneliness. We have also supported a number of start-ups. One of our key areas of work for our current activity strands are our learning communities or labs in which organisations, with our support, come together to share and learn and to refine and develop practice in their area of activity.
