| Policy on grant making | Para 1.38 | The GSR Foundation can only fund projects and activities that are exclusively charitable and fall within the objects of the GSR Foundation. The number of applications which can be supported by The GSR Foundation is, by necessity, limited to the amount of funds available for distribution in line with the general reserves policy. |

| The CIO Trustees will set-aside an annual budget for grant giving which will be reviewed at least annually to ensure appropriate allocation. In practice, we interpret our objects as follows. With the breadth of our work, it is highly likely that the number of viable projects will exceed the funding we have available, so the trustees use the following criteria to help them in making decisions on how best to allocate funding. Does the charity have a strong understanding of specific barriers to participation in the B&E and/or STEM spaces? Have they developed (or are they developing) viable and scalable solutions to these barriers? Have they identified a population group that experiences additional barriers to access? Or if their product serves the whole population - how do they ensure delivery doesn’t reinforce existing barriers, and that participation is both equitable and equal? Are they committed to learning and working with the GSR Foundation as a collaborative partner? Do they have a strong track record of success, or do they have a convincing forecast of results? Are solutions co-created with the populations they serve? Does the charity exercise appropriate financial safeguards, and/or do the accounts show a financially viable entity? |
