OFFERING A HAND UP NOT A HANDOUT
Ever since we set up Texel Foundation in 2015, we’ve been committed to building lasting relationships with our charity partners. That’s exactly why we offer not only grants but also support and guidance along the way.
Causes we support
All Texel Foundation grants support at least one of our four main causes:
Social Mobility
We support organisations that break the link between socio-economic background and life chances. Our partners in this area might promote skills development and apprenticeships to enable financial independence, or support victims of social exclusion, political events or natural disasters. We also advocate for the development of holistic models of care for whole families and even communities.
Education
We support school projects, university scholarships, internships or bursaries, as well as professional teaching programmes that, for example, train teachers and doctors to work in remote areas of the world. We also promote the education of professionals and communities on social issues, such as modern slavery, food poverty and homelessness.
Artistic Opportunity
We aim to address the lack of diversity within the performing arts and creative sector, challenging the status quo whereby work is largely programmed by, for and starring the privileged elite. Through our Represent Arts initiative, we support organisations that promote access to the arts for under-served communities and provide grants for creative projects that would otherwise struggle to secure funding.
