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 Grants
The Linder Foundation has been committed to supporting medical students with their elective since its inception. All students are required to complete an elective towards the end of their medical training which involves them finding a placement hospital or medical facility to work in for 6-12 weeks, many of which are abroad. The Foundation provides travel and living costs support to around 60 students through 7 teaching hospitals and encourages "out of the ordinary" opportunities which positively impact the hosting facility. Many students report that the elective provides them with lifelong learning experiences and memories. This program is by invitation only and applications cannot be made without invitation or by individuals directly.
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.
