The Hunter Foundation today confirmed that its founders, Sir Tom and Lady Marion Hunter intended to give up to £1 billion to their Foundation over time.
The Hunter Foundation proactively sources programmes for investment, or works with partners to develop new programmes where a gap or clear need is identified.
THF invests in programmes that embed a ‘can do’ spirit in children and that tackle the root causes of the problems that see children consigned to the ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training’ group (NEET Group ).
Hunter’s spokesman added that The Hunter Foundation would focus on three critical issues in its investments where it would generally partner with governments – poverty alleviation in Africa, prevention of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training) and in developing system wide and personal leadership talents.
THF do not fund capital projects nor individual causes and always look towards investing in programmes that are nationally scalable and capable of being embedded for systemic change.
The donation pledge is considered to be a record individual commitment in the UK.
