Our key areas of focus and themes
Our charitable objectives at Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation are broad; allowing our trustees to identify the areas that really need our support, and the flexibility to chop and change these needs over time.
Want to know what the Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation is focusing on right now?
- Unlocking potential and making a difference in our own local communities. Our real focus is on improving social inclusion and making a positive impact for people (especially those from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds)
- Responding to international emergencies; recognising the responsibility we have as world citizens
- Shrinking our carbon footprint, as we move towards a just transition to Net Zero.
Whilst these will change from time to time, the Womble Bond Dickinson Foundation is currently focusing on the following themes:
- Climate action and environmental protection
- LGBTQ+ inclusion
- Supporting inclusion of individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds
- Increasing women's opportunities in life and work
- Disability and neurodiversity inclusion
- Mental health and wellbeing support.
The smallprint: Please be aware that, due to the rising levels of demand, the Foundation may receive more applications than its available funding. Therefore, we may be unable to fund all applications, even if they meet the eligibility criteria. We will always inform an eligible grant funding applicant of whether or not their application has been successful.
