The term ‘place-based’, in relation to foundations or national government bodies, is currently used to describe a range of approaches, from grant-making in a specific geographic area to long-term, multifaceted collaborative partnerships aimed at achieving significant change. In most cases, it is more than just a term to describe the target location of funding; it also describes a style and philosophy of approach which seeks to achieve ‘joined-up’ systems change."

There is a growing acknowledgment in the UK and Canada that certain tough social problems can only truly be tackled through communities in a way that builds ownership, understanding and a legacy of change.
