Led by Prudence Norton

The MSN Fund supports individuals from, and projects supporting, marginalised communities, especially migrants and refugees, primarily through health and wellbeing, human rights and peace projects.  

This is donor-advised, and CIVA’s Trustees are advised of the distribution of this fund by Prue Norton, Fahema Begum, Ian Bowden, Richard Scott and Zaki Shah. The grants administrator is Emma Humphrey. The MSN Fund has a committee member sitting on the CIVA Trustee board to represent the interests and perspective of the MSN fund.

During 2024, over £200,000 was distributed as grants and donations including a number through the Network for Social Change, The Funding Network, The Black Funding Network and The Entrepreneurial Refugee Network (TERN) to support projects funded by these charitable Trusts. From time to time this fund is topped up with further contributions from its founders.
