Funder is very accessible on all platforms and sees the interlinkage of the content with process as well as with cross-pollination with similar institutions.

Very successful. The funder does see value in both the advancement of movement building to effect change but also the importance of institutional sustainability to prevent donor dependence. In both cases the funder is innovative in supporting grantees getting to these goals

It's quite hard work for a small charity to develop a proposal and then find that funding for half or only two thirds is provided. Sometimes that means that the grant cannot be accepted because the project cannot go ahead. Small charities have fewer resources to 'fill the gaps' while seeking other funding. I would really urge funders to consider carefully what the impact might be if only a partial grant is offered.
Very responsive, very clear communications and very supportive once the grant decision is approved.

Few funders support organisational development, this is an exemplary funder.
This funder has a very engaged board, with deep expertise and experience. It is clear that trust is an important value for this funder, which is so important for the funding relationship. With such a small staff, the trust does amazing work and is surprisingly responsive.
This funder is very well connected to the realities of smaller charities, and supports their work flexibly.

The trust is engaged in organisations whose cause is not well funded or slightly riskier, and whose income is not well-secure. If you are slightly larger or perceived to have stable funding they will not fund you.
