London Funders

What is London Funders?

London Funders is the only cross-sector membership network for funders and investors in London's civil society. With over 170 members — including public sector funders, charitable foundations, and corporate investors — the organisation works across all 32 London boroughs to improve the effectiveness and coordination of funding for London's communities.

The network facilitates collaboration between funders, shares knowledge and best practice, and advocates for more effective and equitable investment in civil society. London Funders plays a unique convening role in the capital's philanthropic and social investment landscape, bringing together diverse funding organisations that might not otherwise connect.

Where will I work?

London Funders is based in London, United Kingdom. The organisation operates a hybrid working model, combining office-based collaboration with remote working flexibility. Staff attend member events, conferences, and meetings across London, alongside desk-based research, communications, and programme management work that can be done remotely.

What is the team like?

With approximately 28 employees, London Funders has a focused team of network managers, policy researchers, events coordinators, communications professionals, and support staff. The team works at the intersection of philanthropy, public policy, and civil society, building relationships with senior leaders across London's funding landscape.

The culture is collaborative, intellectually curious, and mission-driven. Team members develop deep expertise in London's funding ecosystem and build strong professional networks across the sector. The relatively small team size means staff have significant responsibility and visibility.

Work-Life Balance

London Funders operates a 4-day working week at 32 hours with full pay. The hybrid working model provides additional flexibility, allowing staff to balance in-person network activities with remote working. This progressive approach to working hours reflects the organisation's broader commitment to modelling good employment practice within the funding sector.
