The London Funders Festival of Learning returns in 2026, built around three questions that have emerged repeatedly across our network: how funders can strengthen justice, solidarity and social cohesion in a time of rising division; how we build community wealth and power in a new age of devolution; and how we create a funding ecosystem that is more connected, data-driven and collectively responsive to what communities need.
Each strand is designed as a connected learning journey - sessions that build on one another and move from insight toward action. You're also welcome to follow a full strand or build your own programme around the sessions most relevant to your work.
Across two weeks, the Festival brings together panels, workshops, online sessions, place-based visits, film screenings, escape rooms and networking - a two-week programme designed to inform, challenge and connect.
