Propel

Propel is a long-term funding collaboration focused on putting money and power in the hands of communities that are best placed to make change happen.

We’re launching a further round of funding under one of Propel’s missions: A New Deal for Young People🙌

[Propel @PropelLondon]

Today we've been busy bringing together funders and funded partners for our Propel network day 🤝

We've spent the day reflecting, building relationships and planning - all key ingredients for building a collective movement to create change!

[London Funders @LondonFunders]

We are delighted to be recognised at this year’s @CharityTimes Awards!

Although we didn’t quite get the top spot (and huge congratulations to MAST) we couldn’t be prouder of our nomination for Collaboration of the Year for @PropelLondon.

Propel has already put money and power in the hands of the communities who are best placed to make change happen. We can’t wait to continue building on what’s been achieved so far and to keep learning about how we create change with and for communities.

We're delighted that our flagship funder collaboration, @PropelLondon has been shortlisted for the Charity Collaboration of the Year @CharityTimes🙌🥹

@PropelLondon is the first time cross-sector partners have come together from funding and equity sectors to create a long-term funding collaboration at this scale, where historically underfunded groups are being prioritised

A huge thank you to all the Propel partners & grantees for the work you're doing to support change in London 👏@CityBridgeFndn @londonlegal @MayorofLondon @TNLComFund @JohnLyonCharity @LBFEW @ubeleinitiative @LGBTConsortium @InclusionLondon @whywomen @HEAR_Network

[London Funders @LondonFunders]

When the Propel partners came together, we set out on a mission to do grant making differently. We knew this would mean unravelling & unlearning what we know about funding to find more collaborative & equitable ways to work

Read our reflections for @Alliancemag on what we're learning from collaborating long-term & systemically with @CityBridgeFndn @TNLComFund @londonlegal @MayorofLondon & others through @PropelLondon:
