Strategic Grants

Home > Grants > Strategic Grants

Corra aims to work collaboratively with third sector organisations of all sizes who are willing to take radical steps to support long lasting positive change. As part of this commitment, Corra’s Board of Trustees will make a small number of strategic grants (two or three at any one time) that do not necessarily sit within any of Corra’s other funding programmes.

Strategic grants are by invite only. Organisations who are invited to develop a proposal will already had several conversations with Corra following research and in-depth exploration into the strategy area. The purpose of the grants is to identify potential shifts across priorities to drive change – human rights, community-led, participation, equity, climate justice and wellbeing.

Strategic grants can be made to deliver a specific project or unrestricted funding to an organisation who can show how funding will influence and/or create positive change.
