London Funders

Who we are

About

London Funders is the only cross-sector membership network for funders and investors in London’s civil society. We’re uniquely placed to enable funders from all sectors to be effective.

We are the only place that brings together public, private and independent funders to build a better London by taking action on what matters to our city and our communities.

Our culture and values

We believe a staff culture which values inclusion, equity and wellbeing helps to creates a stronger, healthier and more productive team. We are proud of the practice we’re developing, but always want to learn more. We regularly review our staff policies and benefits, as well as undertake an annual staff diversity audit, to help us understand how we can improve. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

An inclusive & equitable employer: we are committed to putting inclusion and equity at the heart of how we recruit, support and manage our staff. We’ve signed up to a number of initiatives to help us deliver on these commitments:  

• 10,000 Interns Foundation programme: each year we pledge to take an intern from each initiative (Black and Able interns), offering paid internships that create new pathways into the sector that promotes equity of opportunity
• Show the Salary: only advertising jobs (members and our own) with salaries to stop perpetuating pay gaps which evidence shows most affect women, racially minoritised staff and people who are LGBT+
• Living Wage Employer: we are a Accredited Living Wage Employer,  paying the real Living Wage to everyone who works for us
• Living Pension Employer: we are a Accredited Living Pension Employer, to help workers build up a pension pot that will provide enough income to meet basic everyday needs in retirement. And we're delighted to have been shortlisted as a 2025 Living Pensions Champion!
• Menopause Workplace Pledge: we’ve signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge to take positive action to make sure everyone going through the menopause is supported
• Disability Confident Employer: we are joining a movement of change, to encourage employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people.
