James Percy Foundation Home What we do Where How we work Trustee Recruitment Contact How we wor﻿﻿k We do not implement projects ourselves; we provide funding to other organizations. We collaborate only with projects that fall within our priorities (What we do). Most of the funding we provide is restricted (project specific). Before starting to collaborate with an organization we conduct a due diligence. We only work with organizations that have deep expertise in the area they seek funding for and have a proven track record. Measuring the impact of an intervention allows seeing what works best and providing better direction to it. We work with organizations that provide indicators on the outcomes of their interventions (within what is feasible or reasonable in each specific context). We look for organizations that look at studies and other types of evidence to better allocate their resources. Our collaboration workflow is as follows: Submission of a concept note by a partner organization. Completion of a due diligence (with assistance from the partner organization to clarify some points) and submission of the full project proposal. Field visit. This allows us to meet the people who will be implementing the project and check that their current projects run smoothly. In some instances we have seen organizations that have designed good projects but are not properly implemented. Hence, this step is necessary. Approval of the project by all the trustees. Project report submission (biyearly). Annual field visit to check the advancement of the project and to seek other potential projects. Approval of the next funding tranche by all the trustees. We intend to support projects until completion and will only stop if the project falls severely short of its expectations. Final report. We want to find partners that are highly competent and trustworthy and establish a long-term relationship with them. If you want to submit a concept note see how to contact us.
