Our Migration Fund was established in 2015 and has since awarded over £30 million and supported 160+ organisations. We currently grant c. £5 million per year to organisations working towards ‘a world in which everyone is free to move, and no one is forced to move’.

In close collaboration with migrants and those working towards migrant justice, our team has recently reviewed our priorities and criteria, which includes an updated analysis of how positive change might happen, our role in facilitating that change, and the types of work we are keen to support across the UK.

We have since introduced a Steering Group, made up of six external individuals with complementary skills, knowledge and experience who help our team review and shortlist applications to be considered by our decision-making panel, a mix of independent advisors and PHF trustees. This group also supports our overall work, ensuring our funding strategy responds to the opportunities and needs emerging in the field, helping us identify gaps in our portfolio, and expanding our networks.

In addition to our grant-making, the Migration team supports a range of learning exchanges and events to strengthen relationship building and collaboration within the movement.
