ARK is an international charity, whose purpose is to transform children’s lives. Founded in 2002 by a group of leaders from the finance sector, ARK identifies opportunities for catalytic interventions which balance risk and high social returns on philanthropic investment. ARK aspires to identify, create and deliver innovative programmes that are transforming, scalable and sustainable. Programmes are rigorously researched, piloted and assessed before launch, then monitored and rapidly taken to scale if successful. ARK builds partnerships with other NGOs and with governments to achieve scale and sustainability. It acts both as a funder and a catalytic implementer. Carefully selected partnerships allow ARK to leverage resources and to ensure that its programmes support long-term systemic change. ARK’s current programmes focus on health (Sub Saharan Africa), education (UK, USA, India & Uganda) and child protection (Eastern Europe). Perhaps our most visible face in the UK is ARK Schools, a growing network of inner city academies. To find out more, please visit www.arkonline.org and www.arkschools.org
