THIRTY PERCY FOUNDATION

Who they support

The Foundation makes grants to promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public and to advance the education of the public in subjects relating to sustainable development and the protection, enhancement and rehabilitation of the environment, and to promote study and research in such subjects.

Grant criteria

We provide direct and unrestricted investment to individuals, at different stages of their lifecycle, committed to creating alternative systems and visions, generating new knowledge and cultivating community. People who sit outside the mainstream and are bridging between sectors, spaces and disciplines. We have a focus on feminine leadership and explicit support of women, trans women, and women of colour. How we do things is as important as what we do. We use philanthropy as our jumping off point but are not restricted to this. We’re exploring what it means to organise and govern our resources and money differently. Our aspiration is to create an organisation that is designed with feminine lifecycles and leadership at its heart.
