London Funders have been working with public and independent funders as well as the capital’s equity infrastructure organisations to develop a collaborative funding programme, offering grants to civil society groups in London. The programme is about building long-term funding partnerships, enabling communities who have traditionally struggled to access funding to explore, develop and lead collaborative approaches that tackle some of London’s biggest issues. The programme will focus on three of London’s Recovery Missions as a springboard for action: •	New Deal for Young People: enabling more disadvantaged young people to benefit from quality mentoring and youth activities and powering systemic change and sustainability within the youth sector •	Robust Safety Net: ensuring every Londoner is able to access the support they need to prevent or alleviate financial hardship and building a strong and sustainable advice sector. •	Building Strong Communities: all Londoners will have access to a community hub ensuring they can volunteer, get support and build strong community networks. A strong civil society will ensure communities have the voice and tools to make London a more equal and inclusive city. Starting with a small grant to explore the issue you want to address, or a larger grant if you can build on existing work to deliver and develop a wider partnership for change, the initial grants will lead onto a long term, extended, flexible funding partnership. We want to build collaborations to act together to tackle the issues facing London, from tackling structural inequalities to the cost of living crisis, drawing on the strengths and assets of us all.About the Exploration GrantsExplore Grants will be up to one year for organisations to explore the issues they want to tackle, how change might be possible and who needs to be involved in making the change happen. These grants will prioritise equity-led organisations: that is organisations led by and for marginalised communities, in particular: •	Deaf and Disabled communities •	Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) communities •	Racially minoritised communities •	Women and girlsWe define ‘led by’ as when more than 75% of an organisation’s Trustees and more than 50% of staff members (including senior) are people from the communities that you serve/have lived experience of the issues that your organisation is tackling. It is anticipated up to 20 grants in the region of £50k each will be made.

London Funders bring funders together to build a better London by taking action on what matters to our city and our communities. From the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 to the pandemic in 2020, we have also been bringing our members together in times of crisis, ensuring that there has been an effective, coordinated response from funders to support London’s communities. We’re drawing on the lessons we have learnt from coordinating emergency responses to major events affecting Londoners. We think the way funders have supported London’s communities during crisis provides a platform for future work which channels long term resources where they are most needed to achieve the change that is needed for a greener, fairer and safer London.
