Who we are and how to get in touch

Our story

Collective Futures (CIO) was established by TDR Capital LLP with the intention of using their skillset and resources to support positive social change. 

The principles which form part of TDR’s approach - backing unconventional opportunities, recognising the critical role of people and talent, and building strong relationships – have helped to shape Collective Futures’ strategy.

We believe that the experience and expertise exist to solve our toughest social problems, and that with thoughtful, coordinated action and support, we can better strengthen communities.   

We are new to the sector and are continuously learning along the way, so we are always open to innovative ideas.  

More information about our progress and impact highlights can be found in our annual report & accounts: FY2526 and FY2627.

Get in touch

We are always happy to connect with like-minded partners and foundations. If you are interested in exploring collaboration opportunities, please reach out.

Currently, we do not accept unsolicited applications for funding. We are, however, always interested in learning about mission-aligned work within our focus areas, so please feel free to share any ready-made materials with us. As we're unlikely to be able to provide feedback on each request, we recommend not tailoring content to us since we appreciate how valuable your time is.
