A fund to which donors contribute in service of movement building and (un-)learning together.
Because together our impact is more powerful and inevitable
Funded members are those that received funding from the pooled fund for projects in line with the strategic framework and categorised by lever. Below you find a profile of all the funded projects, the lead organisation and members involved, a short description of the project, duration and amount, and to which lever they are contributing.
To link and learn, you can filter the projects by lever of change (finance, retail or sub-national action), including cross-cutting levers such as narrative shift, engagement with the health sector or strategic litigation.
A dozen European and international foundations, with interests spanning health, climate, animal welfare, just transitions and biodiversity, have contributed to supporting the movement since we started in 2020. Some Funders have both contributed to the pooled fund and devoted staff time to the HFHP co-creation process, others have provided funding. Between 2020 and 2022, contributors to the pooled fund have included the Wellcome Trust, Oak Foundation and ClimateWorks Foundation.
In 2023, a new Swiss Foundation, Fourfold Stiftung, joined the pooled fund to support HFHP’s work.
In addition to those contributing to the pooled fund, there are foundations whose funding is aligned with the strategic framework. We call them aligned funders, and they include the European Climate Foundation and the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation.
We are also working closely with other funder networks such as EFSAF, the European Foundations for Sustainable Agriculture and Food, to coordinate our efforts geared at transforming Europe’s food and agriculture systems.
The total funding available for HFHP in 2022 was approximately €2.9 million, which was for grant-making, (un-)learning and movement-building. On top of this there was a similar amount in aligned funding as per the visual. In 2023, around €1.9 million is available while fundraising efforts are underway. Of the latter, €1.24 will be set aside for grants, with a particular focus for 2023 on achieving impact in the retail space.
We are currently discussing and co-creating our governance structure, aiming for the grant making to be in service of movement building, focusing on collaboration & co-creation rather than competition. We are exploring participatory grant making for 2023, whereby a new body called the Kitchen Table would have funder and civil society representation. making final decisions over grant proposals that will be co-created in the lever Communities of Practice.
