Jacobs Futura Foundation is a newly established philanthropic foundation based in London and aiming for lasting impact. Our two distinct areas of focus are protecting the world’s tropical rainforests and supporting athletes in the transition to life after their sporting careers.
The core principles for the Foundation which frame how we think and operate are:
• We take a long-term view – we seek lasting, systemic change in the areas we target
• We have a strategic focus – we are interested in outcomes and impact in our selected areas
• We are open-minded – our interest is in learning what will make a difference, based on evidence and experience
• We have a global outlook but believe change starts on the ground at the local level
• We seek to develop long-term, deep and mutual partnerships
JFF fosters a culture of openness, positivity and a bias to action. We want to create lasting impact. We want to build a true sense of shared values and, importantly, we want an energised, collaborative workplace.
