About the Ideas and Pioneers Fund

The Fund provided grants of up to £15,000 to support people with a vision of a better society to explore their ideas for change.
These were our priorities:
- Applications that focused on early stages of exploring ideas
- Innovative ideas
- People with the potential to create change
- People who are committed to enabling others to shape their lives and lead change
