Pathfinders
A vital part of our work is supporting a group of inspiring organisations through investment, power-building and platforming. We call this group ‘Pathfinders’.
Funding
We fund and work in partnership with a range of organisations, collectives and individuals in pursuit of our mission.
Our current approach to funding
JRF’s external grants are largely tied to specific projects under our 3 pathways of change. More information on the type of projects we fund can be found in the topic pages of our website.
2023 was the first year of our new strategy and the first year of a 2-year learning cycle as we shape and refine our work. As part of this strategy, we expect to make more unrestricted grants.
We are already putting more money behind the new strategy and from 2025 we want to go further, putting an additional £50 million to £100 million behind our mission-focused work over the coming 5-10 years.
Most of our funding is by invitation but we occasionally issue calls for proposals in this section of the website.
