Infrastructure Industry Foundation
About This Funder
The Infrastructure Industry Foundation (IIF), established in 2019 as a UK-registered charity by Infracapital and backed by leading infrastructure investment firms like Global Infrastructure Partners and PwC, unites the sector's professionals to deliver targeted philanthropy for causes resonant with industry members and the communities they serve. Born from a colleague's rare cancer diagnosis, its mission leverages commercial and social capital for lasting impact, guided by values of solidarity, compassion, and societal good through a collaborative, nomination-driven model that blends responsive annual grants with enduring commitments.
IIF prioritizes rare cancer research—via the flagship Ella Project for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma—and social mobility initiatives empowering disadvantaged individuals with access to infrastructure careers, including partnerships for mentoring, volunteering, and awareness. It supports UK-registered charities and voluntary organizations tackling these themes or new member-nominated causes linked to infrastructure "host communities," funding projects, core costs, capacity building, and multi-year strategies across England, Wales, and the UK.
Eligibility requires UK registration and nomination by sector members; unsolicited applications are not accepted, with no income thresholds or religious restrictions. Trustees review nominations annually for alignment and impact. Typical grants range from £10,000 to £100,000, awarded through volunteer-led cycles without fixed deadlines, often tied to fundraising events like annual dinners.
Distinctively, IIF avoids broad general charity but excels in industry-embedded giving, fostering outsized outcomes via professional networks—ideal for causes with direct sector ties that inspire sustained engagement.
