The Foundation Practice Rating (FPR) is a project initiated by diverse UK foundations to enhance practices of all UK charitable foundations in terms of diversity, accountability, and transparency.

Each year, the FPR assesses 100 UK foundations on their practices on diversity, accountability, and transparency. The project outsources the evaluation to Giving Evidence—an independent research organisation, who have defined the criteria and created the system.

FPR assessments use only the publicly-accessible information shared by foundations in their annual reports and on their websites.

The results are published annually.
