Funder drop-in: Why funders should collaborate
About this event
Our funder and philanthropist drop-ins are for staff and trustees at grant-making organisations, and individual philanthropists on topics of interest to the sector.
More and more funders are looking to collaborate to tackle some of societies biggest challenges. And whilst working in partnership can help achieve greater outcomes and bring in more funding to a particular issue, it often isn’t straightforward. This session will run through how and when to collaborate and provide practical examples of when this has happened.
You will hear from our funding expert, Alex Hayes, who will provide guidance on building successful funding partnerships alongside Su Moore, head of Ovo Foundation, who will share their experiences.
Chatham House rule applies during this event.
