 Welcome to the London Funders website

London Funders is the membership organisation working with funders and investors that support London’s voluntary and community sector (VCS).

London Funders provides funders with an opportunity to share and learn from each other's practice, and helps to forge productive relationships which contribute to the wider benefit and overall sustainability of London‘s VCS.


It brings funders together to:

  • Share knowledge about social issues in London and keep up to date with social change
  • Increase understanding of current funding and policy trends
  • Identify and encourage best practice in grantmaking or investing to support and strengthen the voluntary and community sector
  • Get to know each other better and work intelligently together
  • Improve efficiency and increase leverage on investment
  • Promote innovation in funding
  • Be a channel for dialogue between funders and the third sector in London.

At the heart of our plans is a commitment to activity which will bring solid and tangible outcomes for our members. To benefit the voluntary and community sector – and, therefore, to benefit London’s communities – we want to help develop better informed funders and investors making better decisions.

For more information on London Funders membership criteria and benefits please visit the membership section of this website or contact our Membership and Communications Officer, Belinda Birch  on 020 7255 4488
