Stewardship
Stewarding support with care
As a private foundation, our responsibility is to place our resources in the hands of those most deeply engaged with the work — the people best able to use them — and to account for them honestly.
What We Look For
How support is directed
Alignment
We support work that genuinely reflects the principles at the heart of the Foundation — not its name, nor its reach.
Locally led
We look for efforts owned and led by the communities they serve, and we trust those closest to the work to steer it.
Dignity
We favour work that treats people as protagonists of their own development — rich in capacity, not defined by need.
