Selecting grant partners

NEXT’s approach to selecting partners

NEXT Foundation launched in March 2014 and three months later ran it’s first expression of interest (EOI) round, calling nationally for applications in the areas of environment and education
NEXT seeks projects that are innovative, have long-term focus and potential for transformative impact
Through the first and subsequent second EOI round, knowledge and connections were built
Over time NEXT selection of grant partners has evolved to become increasingly proactive
NEXT seeks feedback from partners on their performance as a funder – this includes their experience of the selection process and how NEXT can do better
