Funder Safeguarding Collaborative
We believe every funder plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of the people and communities they support.
Our story
FSC was created to strengthen the ability of grant-making organisations to prevent abuse and exploitation across their grant-making and operations.
We were founded in 2021 by Comic Relief, Global Fund for Children, The National Lottery Community Fund, Oak Foundation, and Porticus, which came together with a shared commitment to creating a safer world.
From its origins as a small group of aligned funders, FSC has grown rapidly and is now a diverse global network of around share an ambition to transform the role of funders in safeguarding by driving action that creates safer organisational cultures and practices to keep people safe from harm.
FSC aims to build a world where safety and wellbeing are at the heart of every organisation.
