How independent are the Fund managers? Does the Effective Ventures Foundation (EVF) control or influence their actions? What if EVF and Fund managers disagree?


The Fund managers are independent of the EVF, and EVF will not seek to change or influence their donation decisions as a general rule.

EVF does create policies and procedures which might constrain the grants that the Fund managers are able to make, and our internal operations team reviews each recommended grant, in order to confirm that the money will be used for charitable activities. EVF remains ultimately responsible for approving all grants, and reserves the right to decline to approve grant recommendations made by the fund managers.
