Principal Partners Scheme
Greater Manchester Poverty Action (GMPA) exists because of the support of likeminded individuals and organisations across Greater Manchester, and beyond, who share GMPA’s desire to see an end to poverty in our city region. Organisations can join GMPA’s Principal Partners Scheme through which they can support GMPA with larger pledges of funding. Principal Partners agree to support GMPA for at least three years and, along with others, form our advisory group. If you or your organisation is interested in becoming a Principal Partner please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
For more information about the scheme click here.
Organisations who sign up as Principal Partners will be listed on our website and will be sent a “Greater Manchester Poverty Action Principal Partner” image for use in their own publicity.
We are delighted that the following organisations signed up as Principal Partners for 2022. If you click on the logos you will see a quote from each Partner that illustrates the value they believe GMPA brings to the fight against poverty across the city region.
