Hear from some of our funders

FUNDER CASE STUDY

The Eranda Rothschild Foundation is our founding funder. They have supported us from working with 180 children in 2013 to over 135,000 children today. Their ongoing support has allowed us to invest in our team capacity, grow our reach and have a widespread impact on children’s essential skills.

FUNDER CASE STUDY

The Portal Trust supports us to run the Topical Talk Festival. It allows schools in London boroughs to join online conversations with peers from all over the world and discuss and debate different news stories. 

“We’re proud to support The Economist Educational Foundation to provide young people with the resources needed to engage with the news in school. It’s great to see all the work they’re doing to teach the next generation how to challenge misinformation and navigate polarised debates.”
