Responding to the news that The Steve Morgan Foundation has pledged £100m in long-term grants, Alex Hayes, NPC’s Director of Transforming Funding said:
“This a great example of the change we need to see from funders. Switching to long-term, less restricted grants help address root causes, not symptoms. The more the impact sector can adopt this kind of practice while also increasing the amount of money coming in, the more we can solve society’s biggest problems.”
