Esmée Fairbairn Foundation is a leading independent funder.
We aim to improve our natural world, secure a fairer future and strengthen the bonds in communities in the UK. We provide c. £50million annually in grants to organisations working in the arts, children and young people, sustainable food and environment, and social change. We also have an allocation of £60 million for social investment to support organisations creating social impact.
In 2020 we launched a new strategy with a focus on three interdependent aims: improving our natural world, tackling injustice to deliver a fairer future and nurturing creative, confident communities. Under the new strategy we will be providing large, long-term grants as well strategic support to organisations and initiatives with brilliant ideas that work towards these aims.
