When young people have the tools, resources, and confidence to shape their own futures, they do more than succeed. They transform entire systems. The way we work is built on that belief.
Systemic change takes time and the freedom to adapt. We provide flexible, long-term funding that gives partners the stability to plan for the future while remaining responsive to evolving challenges. By removing rigid restrictions and investing beyond short-term programme cycles, we enable organisations to strengthen their impact, scale solutions, and build resilience for the road ahead.
Communities know what works for them. We champion locally-led development by shifting power to those with lived experience and deep-rooted knowledge. Our funding and partnerships prioritise local leadership, ensuring solutions are driven by the people who understand their context best.
Young people are the architects of our shared future. By placing them at the heart of our programmes, partnerships and collaborations, we invest in their potential to drive transformative change. We must equip them with the tools and resources they need to become leaders in their communities and contribute to a more just and sustainable world.Michael Mapstone, CEO, Anglo American Foundation
