The Tudor Trust is a grant-making organisation with £230 million assets and a 70-year history of supporting voluntary organisations and community groups driving positive social change across the UK.
We recognise that philanthropy has traditionally held power in ways that reinforce injustice through its investments, programmatic priorities and funding allocations. We believe this form of exercising “power over” should be rebalanced by fostering “power with” and “power within”. This means placing communities and individuals at the heart of our work, providing resources to support their collective ambitions for transformative change in society.
To address the power imbalances within philanthropy, Tudor undertook a transformative shift to reshape every aspect of our work which led to the creation of the ‘Change We Seek’ strategy, and our commitment to advance racial justice by resourcing power within communities.
