Harnessing the power of the many
The Gallifrey Foundation identifies collaborative opportunities to tackle ocean conservation issues by identifying synergies that could be exploited and roadblocks that could be overcome by working together. Our model of engagement is to partner with other organisations.
This is characterised by:
• Focusing on measurable results
• Building capacity with a long term view
• Willingness to experiment and “try new approaches”
• Contributing financial, intellectual, and high personal involvement
Mission: Working collaboratively to advance marine protection and social enterprise
The Gallifrey Foundation supports social enterprise, applying commercial strategies to solve human and environmental problems, rather than simply maximising profits for external shareholders. The Gallifrey Foundation supports several scholarships for a variety of students from primary, university and post-graduate education. In addition, the Gallifrey Foundation supports selected research in social enterprise.
• Not “reinventing the wheel”
• Identify and fill the gaps where they exist
• Achieve our mutual objectives through collaboration
The Gallifrey Foundation does not solicit funds or grant proposals.
Only the Arctic Ocean, hasn’t been fished, polluted, drilled or polluted. Let’s keep it that way.
At the front line of climate change, the ocean plays a central role in regulating the Earth’s climate.
There are sources of minerals in the deep sea but we must first understand how to manage and mitigate the risks that come with extracting them.
Our demand for plastic creates an environmental and public health nightmare. The impact affects the creatures of the sea and humans.
The Gallifrey Foundation provides scholarships to students at the following institutions
A solution to the financial challenges facing micro-entrepreneurs in Ghana is the objective of a research project from London Business School led by Professor Rajesh Chandy, The Tony & Maureen Wheeler Chair in Entrepreneurship and Academic Director of the Business for Development Institute supported by the Gallifrey Foundation. The research project will identify the effectiveness of different loan products designed to give micro-enterprises the boost they need to become successful small and medium enterprises. Half of the businesses in the study are offered a ‘locked-in’ product, where the loan funds must be invested in business assets focused on enhancing productivity such as new equipment, inventory or vehicles. The other half of the businesses are offered the second ‘unlocked’ product, where the loan funds are unrestricted and the entrepreneur can decide how they would like to spend the money. The researchers will be tracking each of the businesses over time to compare the effects of the two loan types on how the entrepreneurs manage money, how their businesses perform, and how they and their families are affected by this.
The Salient is a film about one of the most contested spots of the Great War: the half circle north and east of Ypres that protruded into enemy territory and became known as the Ypres Salient. Less than five miles wide, more than a million people were killed or wounded in this small area during four years of bitter fighting. In due time the Salient came to symbolize every description heard in conjunction with the Great War: sacrifice, courage, honor and duty just as much as chaos, slaughter, calamity and utter senselessness. The Gallifrey Foundation support allows the film to be made available at no cost to schools worldwide. Click here for more information on the film and download links: The Salient
