Grantmaking

Empowering people and protecting our natural world are central to the John Lewis Partnership ethos. We have united the grantmaking legacies of the John Lewis Foundation, established in 2007 to support skills and employability, the John Spedan Lewis Foundation, created in 1967 to champion conservation with care experience connection focused grantmaking undertaken by the Building Happier Futures Fund.

By bringing together these histories, we now combine our long-standing commitment to creating fair pathways to employment with our dedication to restoring the natural environment. Today, we focus our grantmaking on addressing these interconnected social and environmental challenges together, ensuring we create lasting impact for both people and the planet.
