How does Firetree avoid creating dependency?

Question

Accepted Answer

We encourage portfolio organisations to maintain diversified funding sources. Firetree's own funding guidelines discourage any single donor from representing more than 25% of an established organisation's income. Contributions through the Circle are intended to strengthen systems and resilience, not create reliance on a single source.In exceptional crisis situations, such as COVID-19, temporary concentrated support may be appropriate, but this is not the standard model.
