The Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation (PPCF) is a grant giving trust with Quaker family roots in the United Kingdom. We aim to contribute to the development of a just society based on a commitment to nonviolence and environmental sustainability. Our priority is to address systemic threats by seeking to change policy and attitudes at a national, European or international level. In order to do this, in the limited areas described below we support projects that seek to influence values and attitudes, promote equity and social justice, and develop radical alternatives to current economic and social structures.
What We Fund
Peace and Sustainable Security
We support work that addresses the underlying causes of violent conflict, develops ways to prevent and resolve conflict and promotes human security.
Environmental Sustainability
We support work that addresses the pressures and conditions that contribute to climate change and global environmental breakdown.
