Grants
Foundation and institutional grants for research, documentation, public learning and organisational development.
Support our work
Help knowledge stay with the communities who hold it.
RFI is a newly established institution. Support at this stage helps build careful, ethical foundations for long-term research and public learning.
Ways to support
Different forms of support, one shared purpose.
Programme sponsorship
Support for a specific programme area or initiative, including the proposed Northern Ghana pilot of the Ghana Living Systems Initiative.
Research partnerships
Collaboration that contributes expertise, access, facilities or co-funding to a shared research question.
Individual giving
Contributions from individuals who share RFI’s purpose. Online giving will be introduced once a receiving method and accountability information are in place.
How support grows the work
Starting small, building carefully.
RFI’s work is designed to grow in stages so that methods are tested and communities have reviewed outputs before anything is scaled.
- A small pilot
- A tested ethical method
- Community-reviewed outputs
- Regional expansion
- A national research and archive platform
- Multi-year programme funding
We will report openly on how support is used as the work develops.
