Jeremy Coller Foundation
About This Funder
The Jeremy Coller Foundation, established in 2002 by private equity investor Jeremy Coller, drives transformative systemic change on globally critical issues through strategic philanthropy, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. Rooted in evidence-based impact, innovation, and cross-sector influence, it acts as an "upstander" by leveraging capital, relationships, and convening power to address environmental, social, and ethical challenges, particularly from industrial animal agriculture. Its evolved mission focuses on high-leverage programs in animal welfare, sustainable food systems, education, and pensions, challenging factory farming's harms to animals, public health, food security, and the planet while fostering sustainable investment and policy reform.
The Foundation funds research, advocacy, institutional support, and innovation in ending intensive animal agriculture—via initiatives like the FAIRR Initiative (ESG investor network with $90 trillion in assets), the $10 million Coller Dolittle Challenge for interspecies communication breakthroughs, and the Coller Animal Law Forum. In education, it endows the Coller School of Management and Coller Institute of Venture at Tel Aviv University, plus animal law programs; in pensions, it backs the Coller Pensions Institute for retirement system innovation. Beneficiaries include academic institutions, research centers, advocacy groups, and investor networks, emphasizing system-level scaling through data, networks, and policy influence.
Invite-only for general grants, it targets large, established academic institutions and organizations with no geographic restrictions (emphasis on UK, Israel, Europe, North America) and prefers significant-scale entities without strict income thresholds. Typical grants range from £100,000 to £4 million; applications are by trustee invitation or email for prizes like the Coller Dolittle Challenge (next deadline: 30 August 2025). It excludes unsolicited proposals, direct people/community support, and incremental projects, distinguishing itself through outsized impact via investor engagement, scientific prizes, and narrative-shifting interventions for compassion, sustainability, and fairness.
