    Mapping Equity and Justice Infrastructure: the UK-wide phase

    Last year, we embarked on a project to map the current state of funding for equity and justice infrastructure. While some efforts have been made to better evidence the scale and funding of more generic forms of infrastructure support, we still lack understanding about the specialist infrastructure sector specifically for equity and justice organisations. This project will improve our understanding of the current funding position of the sector and the needs they are seeking to address.

    What does it take to fund systems change?

    Over the last six months, London Funders’ learning programme has focused on what it takes to fund and support systemic change. This followed our 2024 annual Festival of Learning where over 900 people from across London Funders’ membership came together to share, challenge, and be inspired by colleagues and changemakers from across the capital and beyond. What emerged from the Festival was a strong desire from funders to support real change for London’s communities.

    Q&A with Letícia Ishibashi: Practising anti-racism and exploring alternatives systems for the future

    As part of our ongoing learning focus on what it takes to fund and drive systemic change, we recently spoke to Letícia Ishibashi, Head of Programmes (Migration) at Paul Hamlyn Foundation about the new vision for their Migration Fund, which envisions a radical alternative to the existing hostile immigration system – one where “everyone is free to move and no one is forced to move”. We spoke with Letícia about how Paul Hamlyn developed this vision together with those working in migration and related fields, how their funding processes changed as a result and where she sees the Foundation’s role in the fight for an immigration system rooted in justice, solidarity and freedom.
