Our external partners in learning
We work with a range of experts from universities, sector think tanks and specialist research centres who provide independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the grants we make.
We’ve appointed a group of research partners who’ll bid to work with us over the next four years to measure and analyse the outcomes of the Covenant Fund’s grantmaking from 2024-27. This work will also make sure that the refresh of our grantmaking strategy for 2027-30 is founded on learning from the grants we’ve already made, as well as the evidence of need in the community.
This independent scrutiny of our grantmaking as a public funder is at the heart of our approach.
