Current grant strategy now closed to new enquiries
Date: 08/08/2026
Our current grant strategy funds work to transform our financial system, develop capacity in the new economy infrastructure, and shift how people understand and think about the economy and their role in it.
The final funding decisions for the strategy will be made in March 2027 at our Board of Trustees meeting. Thank you to everyone who completed our Say Hello form to express interest in applying for the final round. We will contact you in two to three weeks to let you know the outcome of your enquiry.
If your application is ineligible, we’ll let you know and provide our reasons why. If we’re unclear from your Say Hello if your work is a suitable fit for our funding programmes, we’ll invite you to an initial 30-minute exploratory conversation to better understand what you’re trying to do.
If the fit with our funding programmes is clear, we’ll send you an email inviting you to apply and offer options for how you’d like to do that.
Grant strategy for 2027 and beyond
We’re reviewing the impact of the current grant strategy and the wider context of funding for the new economy to help us develop our next grant strategy. We’ll publish more information in spring 2027.

Frontierlands: an interview with author Hazel Sheffield
Hazel Sheffield is a business reporter and investigative journalist. Friends Provident Foundation supported Hazel’s , Far Nearer, which formed part of the work that led to her recently published first book, Frontierlands. We interviewed Hazel about her research and book, which is a remarkable exploration of what can be achieved when we come together and see the possibilities in the derelict and forgotten places many of us walk by without seeing.
