Racial Justice Audit Analysis of PHF’s UK Grant-making 2024/25

Published: 9 December 2025 

This report outlines the findings of our fifth annual racial justice audit of Paul Hamlyn Foundation (PHF)’s UK grant-making for the year 2024/25.

Using the toolkit provided by the Funders for Race Equality Alliance (FREA), we have been able to track the percentage of our funding on grants ​‘by and for’ communities experiencing racial inequity each year since 2020/21. In this report, we discuss the results of the 2024/25 audit in the context of previous results, considering the changes that have been made in our grant-making and opportunities for further improvement.

The publication of these results forms part of PHF’s commitments as a member of FREA, as well as our organisational commitment to anti-racism and centring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across our grant-making.
