The Connect Fund has an ambitious goal – to strengthen the social investment market in England through building the required infrastructure, enabling partnerships to provide solutions, and creating a more open and accessible market.

It is early days for the Fund, which has been providing grants since June 2017, but now is an opportune moment to assess what’s working so far and how the Fund can improve over the remainder of its lifetime.

This interim learning report, produced by NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) examines the progress and views of Connect Fund grantees with reflections for the Connect Fund going forward.
