Social Impact Programme 2021

They have set up a programme to help non-profit organisations, as well as small for-profits with strong values-based aims, with political and policy issues on a pro bono basis. This is aimed at organisations that would not otherwise have access to our services, especially those pursuing causes that our colleagues are passionate about. Successful applicants would be able to benefit from our skills and expertise through a tailored fixed-term consultancy engagement.

Who can apply?

• Not-for-profit organisations worldwide such as charities, NGOs, educational institutions, and foundations.
• Small for-profit organisations with strong values-based aims, such as social enterprises or small businesses with an emphasis on positively impacting society.
• Organisations registered with their respective regulator, where relevant.
• Organisations that would not otherwise have access to our services.
• Organisations with a policy or political challenge that we can help with.

What can they offer?

They are flexible and will make an offer tailored to the successful applicant(s). As a starting point for the discussion, they could offer one of the following:

• A short report on a policy or political issue, for internal use e.g. in planning and decision-making.
• A short report on a policy or political issue, to be published externally e.g. for thought-leadership on an issue.
• Help you prepare and deliver an online event on a policy or political issue.
• Political strategy & advocacy planning, e.g. identifying key stakeholders for you to engage with on an issue and create an engagement strategy and narrative.
