Membership of London Funders is open to local authorities and public, corporate and charitable grant-makers and investors in London’s voluntary and community sector.
London Funders provides opportunities for funders to share and learn from each other’s experience, and to forge productive relationships which contribute to the wider benefit and overall sustainability of London‘s VCS.
Membership of London Funders offers funders a pan-London perspective to encourage shared thinking about the current funding agenda, assist strategic planning and create opportunities for collaboration.
Subscription rates are based on annual grant-making expenditure (or equivalent) in London.
Organisations which undertake grantmaking, but not as their primary remit, may join as Associates, able to participate in all London Funders events but not to vote.
Membership benefits include:
- Quarterly member seminars on topical funding issues, featuring senior-level speakers, with challenging debates and opportunities to share opinion and good practice with funder colleagues
- Specific issue project group meetings enabling members to work together in a focused way in small groups
- Access to the members only Repository on the London Funders' website (currently under construction). This will be a key information portal for London’s funders, containing links to members' funding programmes and priorities, best practice case studies, publications and much more
- Six e-bulletins per year focusing on key funding issues and highlighting members’ programme updates to the wider membership
- Opportunities to network with a wide spectrum of funders including statutory, corporate and foundation funders across London
- Access to policy briefing meetings, member update meetings and occasional joint events with key agencies on current issues
- Opportunities to raise your own issues and disseminate and discuss your programme outcomes or research with funder colleagues from all sectors across London through our usual programmes of events or in a tailor-made gathering
