Investment thesis
Esmée Fairbairn Foundation directs its funding toward three long-term aims: improving the natural world, securing a fairer future, and strengthening community bonds across the UK. It supports individuals and organisations with promising ideas that align with these goals, working collaboratively and deploying a range of tools beyond grants to unlock change. The Foundation has iterated its strategy over time, updating its Creative, Confident Communities and A Fairer Future priorities and extending its funding commitments through 2027. It also commissions and shares research, evaluation, and insights from the work it funds.
