Index of Foundation Diversity, Inclusion and Transparency (360G-phf-36566)

Friends Provident Foundation is an independent grant making charity. This grant supports a review of publicly available data on foundation governance and practice for the top 100 UK foundations to compile an annual index. The research will be conducted by Giving Evidence and it is planned to be published by Civil Society Media and repeated for at least 3 years. This work aims to address the lack of diversity, accountability and transparency in trusts and foundations head on, by trying to create greater accountability in the sector with the development of an annual published index on governance and reporting practices.
