Our
Approach
Our field team take time to understand the needs of each place, project or person that we invest in. They research, visit and build long-term relationships with organisations and individuals.
We do not accept unsolicited requests for funding and all our funding decisions are made by the grants committee.
We are proud to work with over 1,500 social sector leaders from organisations across the UK. The organisations and leaders we invite to join our Network benefit from support and opportunities, including funds, training, and powerful connections.
Members of our Network are either personally invited to apply for support or funding announcements are made to the whole Network via their private digital platform, RankNet.
We trust the leaders we support to lead positive change in the communities they cherish. We invest to nurture and build on the strengths of people and places.
Rank’s relational ethos has, over many years, enabled the unique and vibrant Rank Network to flourish.
