Our Collaborative Impact Partnership is a funding and implementation programme designed to support one high-potential project each year through targeted funding and strategic support.

We partner with one organisation or initiative to support the delivery of a project that can create meaningful, measurable impact. The selected partner will retain responsibility for day-to-day implementation, while working with our team to strengthen planning, delivery, and overall effectiveness.

This programme is designed to provide practical support alongside funding, while ensuring that projects remain locally led and implemented.

Support may include:

• Regular check-ins and communication 
• Monthly project meetings to review progress and next steps 
• Strategic input and external perspective where helpful 
• Ongoing learning and adaptation throughout the project 

We aim to build a constructive and supportive partnership, while recognising that the primary responsibility for delivery sits with the implementing organisation.

We are particularly interested in projects aligned with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• Quality Education (SDG 4) 
• Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6) 
• Climate Action (SDG 13) 
• Life on Land (SDG 15) 

However, projects addressing other SDGs will also be considered.

The initial partnership period is one year of funded programme activity, with the possibility of extension depending on outcomes and opportunities for further impact.

We welcome applications from both early-stage and more established projects. Projects may also be receiving funding from other sources; we are open to co-funded initiatives as well as smaller-scale projects where this funding can make a meaningful difference.

Who Can Apply

We welcome applications from non-profit organisations, NGOs, community organisations, and social initiatives working in low- and middle-income countries.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

• The project must be implemented outside high-income countries 
• Applicants must not be for-profit businesses 
• The organisation must have the capacity to implement the proposed project locally
• The project must have clear social or environmental impact
