Our funders

The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making trust which supports organisations addressing the social, emotional and financial needs of people at the margins of our society. Tudor focuses on supporting smaller, under-resourced organisations which offer direct services and which involve the people they work with in their planning.

The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation aims to improve the quality of life throughout the UK through funding organisations that have the ideas and ability to achieve change for the better. The Foundation’s primary interests are in the UK’s cultural life, education, the natural environment and enabling people who are disadvantaged to participate more fully in society.

Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a registered charity that works to make the most of money for charities and social enterprises. Over the years CAF has been instrumental in pioneering and incubating funding solutions, including Venturesome and Charity Bank.
