• Platform and elevate community organising and demonstrate its efficacy as a practice that can grow the power and agency of communities.
• Consider questions of scale, replication or seeding in expanding existing infrastructure.
• Provide clear recommendations for donors on how they should be investing in support for grant holders.

The project also aims to create material benefits for grassroots community organisations by:

• Collating resources from infrastructure groups.
• Distributing resources widely through an open and accessible online platform.
• Strengthening the provision of support for unincorporated grassroots groups.
