We believe these grants have huge potential in both of our focus areas.
In our work on tax and corruption, there is a chance for a breakthrough in the EU’s rules on tax reporting. We are glad to support the crucial UK Anti-Corruption Coalition, bringing the movement together to achieve more. We think there’s real scope to tackle tax fraud and improve transparency around corporate wrong-going.
We also help high potential non-profits to become stronger organisations (in our second focus area). We are delighted to support organisations that embody the best of partnership between the UK and low income countries. They work on issues from reforming the whole subject of economics to tackling the death penalty – and could have enormous consequences.
We believe these grants continue to encourage and showcase Britain as a force for good in the world.
