**The Funders’ Collaborative Hub, which aims to support collaborations between funders
and philanthropists in response to Covid-19, is now live.**

 

The [Funders’ Collaborative Hub](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/) helps
funders and philanthropists find out what funder collaborations are already happening
in response to the pandemic, who** **else is involved or is interested in a collaboration
focused on an area important to them, how their funding can best help, and where
the emerging needs and gaps are.

It is designed to evolve with the needs of the sector, and has launched with an 
initial [programme of events](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/events)
and a pilot web platform.

 

 

The new platform provides:

 

 * [**News**](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/news): Information and 
   updates about funder collaborations across the UK.
 * [**Connections**](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/categories): Opportunities
   to connect with other funders, share ideas and develop networks to support collaboration.
 * [**Resources**](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/covid-19-funder-resources):
   Data, tools and resources to support collaborative efforts.
 * [**Events**](https://www.funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/events): An initial programme
   of learning events, webinars and forums organised by the Hub and partners.

 

An initial group of funder collaborations are featured on the platform, and over
the next few weeks this will develop into a directory of collaborative funder activity.
