Aims and activities
EQ Foundation is interested in how we can work together with other funders to scale the impact of UK charities (£500k-£2m) with strong leadership in important but “under-funded” areas - this could be through co-funding, expert pro-bono and referrals.
We would like to explore:
- How best to identify the best led charities with greatest impact potential?
- How to identify those in key thematic areas which remain unloved/underfunded for reasons like stigma, complexity or low profile (eg female offenders, excluded pupils, first 1000 days prevention of adverse childhood experiences)?
- How to build a pipeline of charities, track and support them over time?
- Sharing charity referrals and insights for the above, so we improve and build a pipeline.
How to get involved
