WWF UK Grant System: Review, Comparison & Recommendations

The Conservation Programmes' Department in WWF UK, plays an important role within the WWF global network. Not least through its ability to raise, distribute and manage funds to its partner offices across WWF worldwide, while complimenting similar efforts being made by other offices in the network and consistently upholding the Network standards. Its ambition is to double the amount of funds it raises and distributes during the next 3-5 years, have an efficient and effective grant system for achieving this and enable the transfer of capacity to partner offices, as applicable and relevant.

To ensure that WWF UK can be as efficient and effective as possible, we are keen to review our grant system, from start to finish, to ensure that the very best possible outcomes can be achieved. To achieve these aims, the Conservation Programmes' team require expertise to conduct a review of our existing grant system at WWF UK, analysing the system, processes and procedures, against both our needs as well as sector benchmarks and approaches, with the aim to assess its effectiveness, improvements and a proposal on any step change that they system requires to meet the needs of WWF UK for the next 5 years and beyond.
