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. In 2025 we want to make more unrestricted grants, 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 below.

Call for proposals: Self-contained food and drink provision in Homestead Park (2025-2028)
JRF is inviting proposals to help us improve the food and drink provision available in the park.
License terms
The agreement will take the form of a license to occupy and trade within the park grounds. The license will be in place annually from May - May (exact trading dates and hours to be determined with the successful applicant).
We will require a peppercorn rent of £1 per year for the use of the licensed space. The successful applicant will be required to pay a fee of up to £500 per year for the disposal of any non-biodegradable waste they produce, including recyclables. Water and electricity will be charged at cost.
