Transforming Financial Systems Programme

Who it is for

Successful applications must fall within our open funding priorities and are likely to include one or more of the following characteristics:

• Applications that get to the root causes of problems in our current economy rather than tackling the symptoms of those problems.
• Applications that seek to remove blocks to change in the economy and financial system.
• Applications that are taking a systemic approach to tackle the impacts of the economic system on marginalised groups.
• Applications that are taking a systemic approach to address the negative impact of our economic system on the health of the planet.

Support you can get

Funding will be granted in three main areas:

• Government Policy and Regulation - including areas such as countering lobbying and influencing, improving the understanding of key decision makers, a renewed focus on public interest.
• Banking - areas of interest include the role of the Bank of England and Treasury, enabling purpose-driven banking, and countering the influence of the shadow banking sector.
• Investment - funding might include redefining the incentives and purpose of investment, questioning ownership rights and responsibilities within the financial system, and promoting responsibility and impact focus.
