About ACF

ACF is the membership body for UK foundations and grant-making charities. Our 370 members collectively hold assets of around £50bn and give over £2.5bn annually.

Their missions vary hugely and include: arts and heritage, social justice, human rights, criminal justice, conservation and the environment, vulnerable adults and children, health, housing and poverty. Driven by a belief that foundations are a vital source for social good, ACF’s mission is to support them to be ambitious and effective in the way that they use their resources.

As part of a new strategy, ACF has developed a Partnership Programme which will bring in a new source of income and sponsorship. It also provides a framework for our partners to share their professional expertise with our members, helping members to achieve more with their resources and be more effective.  The official partners are Cazenove Charities, CCLA, Mercer and Ruffer LLP, four leading companies with expertise in investing and a track record of engagement with the sector.

About the role
