Friends Provident Foundation – Transforming Financial Systems
Closing Date: –
Grants are available to support not-for-profit organisations within the UK who are working to shape a fairer, more sustainable economy.
This funding is to explore barriers and blockages to the creation of a fair and sustainable financial system within the system itself, such as regulations, policy ideas, power dynamics and cultures.
Funding will be granted in three main areas:
- Government Policy and Regulation – including areas such as countering lobbying and influencing; improving the understanding of key decision makers, a renewed focus on public interest.
- Banking – areas of interest include: the role of the Bank of England and Treasury; enabling purpose driven banking; countering the influence of the shadow banking sector.
- Investment – funding might include: redefining the incentives and purpose of investment; questioning ownership rights and responsibilities within the financial system and promoting responsibility and impact focus.
The work needs to be systemic in focus and positive, future building.
A full description can be found in the ‘discussion piece’ available on the Foundation’s website.
