Making the case for unrestricted funding
A short briefing that brings together IVAR's research on unrestricted funding. It is written for foundation staff and board members who want to consider unrestricted funding and argue for it inside their organisation and with peers. It finds that the preference for restricted funding rests on familiarity and lacks evidence, accepts that restricted grants sometimes fit, and sets out the value unrestricted funding brings to charities and funders.

Open and Trusting Grant-making commitments
A set of 8 commitments for UK funders who want to make grant-making more open and trusting. Funders commit to be clear, ask only what is needed, accept risk, decide quickly, share openly, give flexible funding, communicate purposefully and keep reporting proportionate. The commitments grew out of the COVID-19 response, and funders sign up publicly. Charities and funders use them to check grant practice.
