About this grant

A Fairer Future is one of three core funding programmes of Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, a UK-based philanthropic organisation. The programme aims to contribute to a socially just and anti-racist society where people have their rights protected, the opportunity to speak and be heard, and the freedom to express their creativity. Across all its work under A Fairer Future, the Foundation is particularly keen to support organisations led by the people they serve. The programme sits alongside two other priority areas: Our Natural World and Creative, Confident Communities. The Foundation uses grants, social investment, and additional support (Funding Plus) to achieve its impact goals across these areas.
