Environmental Funders Network

Who we are

EFN works to transform environmental philanthropy in the UK: increasing funding levels, improving effectiveness and supporting people and organisations helping to create a thriving planet.

We provide tailored support across the funding community to strengthen their work – whether that’s within our membership network for funders and advisors, or in our forum for fundraisers. We share knowledge, expertise and research and foster connections. We also work to motivate and inspire those not yet funding environmental causes to give.

The need for strategically-deployed environmental philanthropy has never been greater. Our aim is to give the funding community the knowledge, networks and agency they need to address these key challenges of our time.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our commitment to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI)

EFN places great value on diversity; we firmly believe that EFN will be a more effective organisation with staff members who bring a variety of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives to bear on our work. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Disabled people, young people, those who identify as working class or have done so in the past and those most affected by the consequences of climate change and nature loss. 

We are committed to making our recruitment processes as accessible and supportive as possible. If an applicant requires any adjustments to the application process or to the role itself (for example due to a disability, neurodivergence, or caring responsibilities), please let us know and we will make accommodations.
