IVAR – Open and Trusting Grantmaking Members

We have signed up to be an open and trusting grantmaker, as part of an initiative from IVAR that is supported by London Funders and developed in collaboration with a small group of UK foundations and charities. They are calling on funders to adopt simpler, more flexible 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 over 100 funders who have signed up to eight commitments and joined a community with other funders and charities to improve practice together.

The bottom half of the image is an illustrated scene of a group of diverse runners, both men and women, participating in a half-marathon through a scenic, tree-lined path. The runners are wearing numbered bibs and athletic gear, and the illustration evokes a vibrant, energetic, and community-focused atmosphere. The image promotes the participation of GCF in the Cheltenham (Chelt) Half-Marathon as a fundraising or community engagement effort.
