About
The Linder Foundation is a UK-based charitable organization that provides grants to innovative charities to maximize impact. The Foundation seeks to be a major stakeholder in the projects it funds and often serves as an early stage funder for innovative initiatives. Their funding focuses on five key areas: environment (biodiversity and species preservation), young people (youth offending prevention), hospices and respite care, medical electives (supporting medical schools), and the arts.
Funding Opportunities
Medical Electives Support
The Linder Foundation provides travel and living costs support to medical students completing their mandatory elective placements at the end of their medical training. The elective involves a 6-12 week placement at a hospital or medical facility, with many placements occurring abroad. The Foundation supports approximately 60 students through 7 teaching hospitals and encourages elective opportunities that are 'out of the ordinary' and positively impact the hosting facility. Students consistently report that their elective experiences provide lifelong learning and memorable experiences. This program has been a core commitment of the Foundation since its inception, helping to support the next generation of medical professionals through immersive clinical experiences.
Young People Grants
The Linder Foundation supports specific projects that aim to improve outcomes for vulnerable young people aged 12-24 who have suffered from adverse childhood experiences and childhood trauma. The Foundation seeks to fund projects delivering early intervention and rehabilitation aiming to prevent re-offending and to divert young people from involvement in the youth or criminal justice system. The Foundation is looking for innovative projects and targeted programmes with measurable outcomes, likely to include intensive interventions over a period of time and a trauma informed approach provided by crime experienced mentors. Projects may include those supporting young people in the community, in prison or young offenders institutions, or on release, as well as providing support to looked after children and children in care. The Foundation prioritizes projects that show potential to be replicated or scaled up.
The Linder Foundation - Environment Grants
The Linder Foundation supports specific land-based projects relating to biodiversity and species preservation or re-introduction. Projects can be in urban or rural environments, farm-based or within connected farms, and may contain research elements that provide evidence for change. The Foundation prioritizes projects with potential for replication or scaling, those involving volunteers and community engagement, and initiatives aimed at biodiversity improvements for targeted species or habitat management. The average grant is £15,000 and should cover at least 50% of the total project cost. Priority areas include regenerative farming focusing on healthy soils, farmland ecosystems for sustainable food production and carbon capture, as well as projects seeking to improve carbon capture and manage habitat improvements. The Foundation holds trustee meetings in March, July, and October each year to review applications.
