An initiative which supports funders to embed Open Intellectual Property into their work

Graphic of a light bulb

Our Open IP for Funders initiative - run as a contribution to Catalyst - aims to encourage and support funders to implement open IP (intellectual property) within grant agreements, and to encourage open IP amongst the charities they support - both contributing to how we can encourage reuse of community and sector owned tech.

As part of the initiative, 20 community organisations recently completed CAST’s Community Explore programme, as part of Power to Change’s Discovery fund.

We also facilitate a growing peer group of funders exploring this area - please get in touch if you'd like to join.
