We're spending less time on X as we rethink our social media approach. If you want to keep up with our latest updates, follow us on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/associ…

Our office will be closed from 12pm today until 2 January. Email and social media won’t be monitored during this time. Registration remains open for our 2025 events (acf.org.uk/events), and check out our Jobs board for new foundation roles (acf.org.uk/jobs).

An excellent example of funder collaboration led by @EllermanUK In this blog on @FunderHub, @SufinaAhmad shares the collaboration’s achievements in environmental conservation in the UK Overseas Territories, and invites other funders to join them: funderscollaborativehub.org.uk/blogs/an-invit…

ACF has been proud to be on the project’s steering group over the past 12 months. We are looking forward to the launch of the principles intended to give trustees and charity leaders further clarity and confidence when making decisions about their investments.
