Our ways of working

At Corra we have a set of principles that we strive to put into practice across our roles as an employer, independent funder, charity and partner, as well as in our influencing activity. We call these our ‘ways of working’. We will:

• Listen and respond to people, communities and organisations and amplify voices that are less well heard – their wisdom is at the heart of Corra’s approach.
• Build relationships, always working alongside others on the basis of shared power, mutual trust and shared learning.
• Pursue diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), trying to challenge structural discrimination and contribute to radical shifts in the funding sector.
• Be an open, trusting and flexible grant maker.
• Ensure we contribute to tackling climate change, through our investments, operations and grant making and encouraging others to take action alongside us.
• Be bold, taking considered risks and supporting others to do the same.

We make commitments to these ways of working and report on our progress.
