Funding
When the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation invested in Plymouth via POP, it did so with an explicit aim to create transformational change. The principles of participation and collaboration were at the heart of this. At the start, the aspiration was to spend as much of the funding within the sector.
Over the last three years several critical components have been identified for successful participation and collaboration:
- Openness and transparency in finances and decision-making.
- Shared ownership of finances helps everyone to feel they have a stake and promotes shared decision-making.
- Learning and reflection can help uncover the unexpected results and projects explain what the value of the work is.
We hope you can see the strong themes of openness, transparency, trust building running through our funding. We are constantly learning and evolving what we do.
