Greater Manchester Principal Partner Scheme
Resolve Poverty exists because of the support of likeminded individuals and organisations across Greater Manchester, and beyond, who share our desire to see an end to poverty.
Organisations can join our Greater Manchester Principal Partner Scheme through which they can support us with larger pledges of funding. Principal Partners agree to support Resolve Poverty for at least three years and, along with others, form our advisory group.
You can learn more about the scheme in our Principal Partner information pack.
If you or your organisation is interested in becoming a Principal Partner please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Organisations who sign up are listed on our website and will be sent a “Resolve Poverty Principal Partner” image for use in their own publicity.
Principal Partners 2025
We are delighted that the following organisations signed up as Principal Partners for 2025. If you click on the logos you will see a quote from each Partner that illustrates the value they believe Resolve Poverty brings to the fight against poverty across the city region.
