Supporting campaigning a funder's guide

"A combination of money and passionately held beliefs can create enough momentum to change the world."
UK Philantropy's Greatest Achievements Report, Institute of Philanthropy

This short guide aims to support trusts in their thinking about campaigning as well as providing insight to those approaching trusts to fund campaigning activity. It highlights key lessons in supporting sustainable change drawn from a range of evaluations and studies, the areas of campaigning work trusts could fund and case studies of what you could achieve from Every Disabled Child Matters, Local Voices, Global Ban - campaign to ban cluster munitions and the Special Education Consortium.
