Esmee Fairbairn Foundation

Read this article for information on the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation's  new funding approach.

The majority of funding will now be channelled through the Main Fund that will be an open, less prescriptive way of working, through which they will listen to ideas.  Esmee Fairbain expects to fund a wider range of work than before, although their core interests remain in the fields of culture, education, environment and social development.

As part of the new funding approach they are also running a number of smaller, more focused funding strands.  These will be in areas where a more direct intervention may have a greater impact.  The first three will be: Biodiversity, Museum and Heritage Collections, and New Approaches to Learning.  They plan to launch further funding strands later in the year.  Click here for Funding Strands Guidance:
