The Social Impact Gateway (SIG) is a new grant-making and social value delivery platform, designed to:

  • Enable corporates and public sector partners to collaborate and invest in trusted VCSEF organisations tackling various issues such as social inequality, injustice, the climate crisis and more.
  • Offer VCSEF organisations a simple, fair, and transparent way to access funding and capacity-building support.
  • Provide expertise in compliance, monitoring, and impact reporting, ensuring public and private funding is protected, well managed, and aligned with legislative requirements.
  • Offer another option for single point of access for consultation and research opportunities - facilitating better social impact outcomes for local people through co-designed services/commissioning.

The SIG isn’t just another grant funding model; it’s a growing network of VCSEFs and funders committed to long-term, meaningful impact. If you’re ready to connect with new opportunities and amplify your impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Launching in two pilot areas on 1st May 2025, the SIG will be powered by MVA in Medway and Swale and Social Enterprise Kent in East Kent, the SIG model has been designed for interoperability and agility to allow for future system/local government boundary changes.
