Oak Foundation’s Guiding Principles

The following principles apply to the whole portfolio of Oak Foundation’s grants. They may not necessarily fully apply to all individual projects. They are the values and approaches that Oak uses to make its funding decisions and build its partnerships.

Oak Foundation’s Overall Approach

• Target root causes;
• Demonstrate solutions that can be adopted by permanent providers and/or by government;
• Mobilise financial commitment from a range of different sources;
• Promote collaboration among organisations and funders;
• Involve the target population in the planning and implementation of the project
