Vivensa Foundation

Who we are

We fund the remarkable science and radical social change needed to help everyone to age well.

We support researchers and communities, systems and services, fundamental science and applied design. We care about inclusion, address inequality and make the interdisciplinary connections that bring your ideas to life.

Our culture and values

We believe that how we do what we do is as important as what we do. The foundations upon which the three key pillars of our work are built are our values. We expect that organisations we fund and those with which we work to share those values, which are:

Responsive

Inclusive

Trustworthy

Long-term thinkers

Collaborative

Impact-intentional

You can read more about what these mean in practice in our Strategic Framework.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We recognise the inherent benefits of having a diverse board and workforce and the negative impact of discrimination on us and the communities that we serve. We work hard to promote a culture of respect and dignity and work within the practice – and the spirit – of the Equality Act 2010. We do our very best to proactively combat behaviours and barriers that can lead to discrimination.
