CEO Jason introduces you to The Royal Foundation

When people come together, they can achieve great things. The Royal Foundation unites people to tackle some of today's biggest challenges.

Driven by a desire to make a difference together, The Royal Foundation is the primary philanthropic and charitable vehicle for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Their programmes currently revolve around main themes of work; mental health, early years, wildlife conservation, and emergency responders. In addition to these programmes, as the country responds to COVID-19, The Royal Foundation is working to support frontline workers and ensure that those in need are able to access mental health support.

The Foundation focuses on projects that reflects the interests and passions of the Principals – bringing sustainable change to issues that matter to society.

  • The Earthshot Prize

    Over the last ten years, the evidence that we face urgent challenges to protect the environment has become indisputable, and it’s clear that the time to act is now. In response, The Royal Foundation and Prince William have launched The Earthshot Prize, the most prestigious global prize for the environment in history. As well as identifying evidence-based solutions to the biggest environmental problems the planet faces, The Earthshot Prize aims to turn the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism that we can rise to the biggest challenges of our time. The Prize is about much more than awarding achievement – it is a decade of action to convene the environmental world with funders, businesses and individuals to maximise impact and take solutions to scale, to celebrate the people and places driving change; and to inspire people all over the world to work together to repair the planet.
