What is grantee feedback telling us about the current state of funding practices?

#FixtheForm is a grassroots international movement to make practical changes to funder application forms and processes, informed entirely by those applying for funds. GrantAdvisor UK is a free online service that allows grantseekers to share their anonymous feedback on working with UK funders. The service was re-launched in May 2023 by CAST, a charity that helps social impact organisations make the fullest use of digital technology, in order to be as responsive and resilient as possible.

In this session, we are joining forces to explore what feedback from these initiatives are teaching us about the changes grantees want to see to funder practices. We will share insights from recent research on what changes funders have already made as a result of these initiatives and where they can improve. There will also be a chance to reflect, share and learn from peers on the challenges and opportunities funders experience when collecting anonymous feedback.

The Festival is open to all members of London Funders. Unless otherwise specified, we are not able to accept bookings from non-members. If you’re a funder and interested in becoming a London Funders member, please find out more here.
