These eight new Strong Foundations Grants build on Sir Robert McAlpine’s ongoing partnership with ActionFunder, which first launched in 2021. Since then, we have funded more than 95 projects, reaching over 70,000 beneficiaries across the country.
We are delighted to be extending our partnership with ActionFunder with these eight new Strong Foundations Grants. Our role extends beyond the projects that we deliver to the legacy we leave in society.
