The Year Five results are now live: foundationpracticerating.org.uk/cohort-resul.... We've seen statistically significant improvements since the FPR began five years ago and the results are the strongest in our five‑year history. #Diversity #Accountability #Transparency

As 2025 draws to a close, we wish you a restful festive season. March 2026 brings the launch of the Year Five report. This will be an opportunity to look at the Year Five results and also reflect on five years of assessing foundations’ practices on diversity, accessibility and transparency.

This campaign is not about one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, it empowers each foundation to create tailored commitments that align with its individual situation, values and goals.

The Three Commitments campaign enables foundations to lead by example and inspire positive change within the grant-making sector by committing to three changes they would like to make.
