Our Portfolio Selection Framework ensures every organisation we support is equipped to deliver both measurable impact and long-term financial sustainability.
Our assessment is anchored in three pillars:
Impact
Proven impact, or strong potential, across learning, earning, climate and heritage. Each organisation undergoes impact mapping to understand both the breadth and depth of its impact, ensuring its model can create meaningful, lasting change.
Sustainability
Models built to last, with financial discipline, revenue-generation potential, and a credible path towards greater financial sustainability. We prioritise organisations that can generate more of their own income, reduce reliance on grants, and adapt to changes in their operating environment.
Governance
Mission-driven founders who are open to support and ready to lead through uncertainty. Strong leadership and governance help ensure that our support strengthens not only promising ideas, but the teams that can turn them into systemic change.
How We Fund
The needs of organisations change as they grow. We focus on providing them with the tools they need, at the right time – across three key stages:
Early-Stage
Seed
Our signature ASSET training programme, coaching, networking, and financial awards - all geared to build a strong foundation for future growth.
Growth-Stage
