Details

abrdn Charitable Foundation focuses their strategy through the theme of ‘Tomorrow’s Generation’, which means engaging young people between the ages of 16-25. This is then distilled through two main categories: ‘People’ and ‘Planet’. Under ‘People,’ their aim is to help to break down barriers to education, employment, and financial wellness, with a key focus on Social Mobility. Under ‘Planet,’ they are looking to work with organisations who are protecting nature and addressing the impacts of climate change.

The Fund is seeking projects that are innovative, practical, collaborative, and systemic – so they provide learning that can be applied widely to deliver lasting impact. It is hoped the Fund will deliver significant impact through its support of small to medium sized projects that could potentially become Powerful Partnership of the future. One Innovation Fund grant will be allocated in each region each year.
