thirtypercy.orgAbout Thirty Percy Foundation
Thirty Percy Foundation is an independent UK charitable foundation established in 2018 from the Skagen Foundation. It works to dismantle inequality and foster justice, regeneration, care, equity, and collective wellbeing for people and planet. Rooted in values of integrity, care, courage, and reflective learning, the Foundation centres Black feminist principles, decolonised practices, and feminine leadership. It models new economies beyond traditional philanthropy through bold, experimental, relational grant-making and open-sourced learning. The Foundation prioritises individual changemakers—activists, artists, social justice practitioners, and thinkers from marginalised communities—alongside organisations and collectives advancing economic rebalancing, food security, youth and agricultural mental health, and resilient local communities. Its work includes a Gloucestershire place-based programme supporting youth and food initiatives, with emphasis on grassroots innovators challenging conventional models through national and international networks.
What Thirty Percy Foundation funds
The Foundation funds work that advances economic rebalancing, food security, youth and agricultural mental health, and resilient local communities. It supports grassroots innovators challenging conventional models through national and international networks, with a particular focus on place-based work in Gloucestershire that includes youth and food initiatives. The Foundation also backs individual changemakers—activists, artists, social justice practitioners, and thinkers from marginalised communities—who are creating alternative systems, liberated freedoms, and new knowledge. There are no geographic restrictions, but the Foundation emphasises UK-wide and deep place-based efforts.
