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