Cumber Family Foundation

Beyond their UK grant making, the Foundation has two focus areas for work taking place overseas: 1) OVERSEAS – Charitable works in countries in need, in particular projects involving agriculture or empowerment of women; and 2) ENVIRONMENT -. Environment, agriculture and conservation; both locally (Oxfordshire/Berkshire) and further afield in the UK and developing countries. We prefer to fund long-term projects with measurable outcomes, and we particularly like to support smaller organisations that may not have a wide reach, and projects that may not necessarily appeal to the general public.
