Our grants support a range of initiatives – for communities of marginalised people, as well as government service delivery systems. Our areas of support include land, water and forest, gender justice, children in need of care and protection, persons with disability, urban poor communities, nutrition, governance, constitutional values, focused vulnerable geographies, and civil society organisations.
