The Wimbledon Foundation is the charity of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and The Championships, dedicated to championing opportunities for all. Half of its grant allocation goes to local initiatives in the London boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth aimed at strengthening and supporting the community.
The Wimbledon Foundation has really benefitted from the insights, expertise, and recommendations provided by Oliver Wyman. The team worked collaboratively with us to review our strategy and build a new impact measurement framework, which will make a significant difference to how we measure and evidence our workPaige Murphy, Head, Wimbledon Foundation
The Wimbledon Foundation engaged Oliver Wyman in a seven-week project to assist with three initiatives: The first was to act as a critical friend to the foundation, helping it refine its strategy and decision-making framework. The second initiative involved developing a framework for measuring the impact of local grants, utilizing partner organizations’ expertise and previous Oliver Wyman project experience. Lastly, Oliver Wyman created metrics and tools for monitoring the effectiveness of local grant-giving.
