In the first quarterly Open Members’ Meeting of 2024, we heard from Ian Gibson, The Essentia Foundation, Mary Porter, KPE4, and Elaine Wilson, Corra Foundation who each spoke about their organisations’ work in the session’s theme ‘community’. 

Key takeaways from our members was the importance of collaboration between, not only multiple funders, but also with those receiving the funding. As grant makers to vulnerable groups, all three trusts described their experiences of learning from their grant recipients and adapting their funding models to match the need described.  

You can read more about the meeting in the minutes or view the session resources, available to members in the Members’ Area.
