Why join London Funders?

London Funders is the only cross-sector membership network for funders and investors in London’s civil society.

We’re uniquely placed to enable funders from all sectors to be effective and provide a space to collectively take action on what matters to our city and our communities.

With everything from regular events and networks, to collaborative programmes across our membership,  London Funders support members to build a better London. To achieve this we:

• Enable a movement of members to have strong and trusted connections, based on shared values and ambitions 
• Facilitate and lead collaborative programmes where only working together can achieve the change that’s needed 
• Drive a learning culture, where shared data, intelligence and insight leads to better decision-making and action 

Our member offer speaks to our ambitions to involve and inspire, inform and influence, and innovate and incubate.  Available to all staff and trustees of our member organisations, some of our key member-exclusive benefits include:  

• Subscription to our weekly Funder Five e-bulletin and monthly Member Memo newsletter
• Free attendance to our annual Festival of Learning and Autumn Conference
• Access to our learning programme, featuring workshops and events throughout the year
• Participation in our local funder forums and thematic member-led networks
• Access to monthly Insight Meetings
