Esmée Fairbairn Foundation aims to improve our natural world, secure a fairer future and strengthen the bonds in communities in the UK. We do this by contributing all that we can to unlock change by people and organisations with brilliant ideas who share our goals. The Foundation is one of the largest independent grant-makers in the UK, making grants in the region of £40 million annually. We also have a £45m allocation to social investments. Our funds are generated by our investment portfolio.
