Shared Interest actively seeks opportunities to work together with external organisations to achieve shared objectives. However it is vital that Shared Interest maintains its independence and does not allow external partnerships to bring the name of Shared Interest into disrepute.

Shared Interest Foundation therefore seeks, so far as is practical and within the constraints of UK law;

• to ensure that the activities of organisations it works with are consistent with Shared Interest's values
• to develop relationships with companies and other donors whose activities are both supportive to, and enriching to, Shared Interest's

It is Shared Interest Foundation's policy to seek funds from a wide range of sources and to accept funding from any donor and whether monetary or in kind, provided that acceptance does not:

• impair Shared Interest's independence to pursue its mission
• endanger its integrity and reputation
• negatively impact on the work of Shared Interest Society
