Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Ideas and Pioneers Fund
Closing date
The Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Ideas and Pioneers Fund provide funding and tailored support to help early-stage innovators test, research, and develop new approaches with the potential for long-term impact.
Recent examples include supporting initiatives like the Museum of Homelessness, led by individuals with firsthand experience, and POMOC, which explores models to support Polish migrants.
The Foundation is particularly keen to welcome first time applicants, and those most affected by systemic oppression and/or discrimination (for example: tackling racism, ableism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia or transphobia),
Examples of activities that could be funded include:
- Developing a product or new approach.
- Gathering evidence for a campaign.
- Paying yourself or others to deliver the activities being applied for.
- Research to develop your idea, and
- Talking to people with relevant experience to better understand your issue
