Details

The Keystone Fund aims to enable locally and regionally-focused charities working towards social equity to become more agile in their support for their communities.

The Fund will award unrestricted grants, intended to enable charitable organisations in the UK to adapt ways of working, strengthen capacity or build resilience, according to identified needs. In addition, all grant holders will gain access to webinars, toolkits, and networking opportunities to accelerate their impact.

Priorities of the fund are supporting organisations to:

• Adapt their ways of working (e.g. digital capability, staff and volunteer training, operational challenges)
• Bolster their core building blocks (e.g. governance, strategic planning, capacity building)
