2010

Our strategic aims for 2010 and some of our current work that supports them are set out on these pages. During 2010 we will continue to identify and develop new programmes and projects.

Cultural Understanding
To help improve people’s perception of each other by providing opportunities for interaction through culture and between cultures…

Fulfilling Potential
To help build relationships and reduce social exclusion in order to assist individuals, families and communities to fulfil their potential and contribute to society...

Environment
To support imaginative interventions that contribute to an increased understanding of the importance of habitat conservation for the protection of the environment...

Innovation
To support exceptional ideas and unusual partnerships between people and organisations that might not otherwise come together…

• We work proactively by identifying needs and collaborating with a number of key organisations to help meet them.
• We support projects, partnerships and, indirectly, people.
• These partnerships and activities are selected by the Foundation and are time-limited from one to four years.
• To achieve a greater impact, we are supporting fewer organisations with larger amounts of money.
• Occasionally, we will invite new funding proposals where appropriate.

The UK Branch funds only not-for-profit organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We support projects outside London in preference to those based in the capital.
