The Richmond Project
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Richmond Project states a priority for the UK and its themes are number confidence and research, so work that builds everyday confidence with numbers, or that researches it, is the clearest fit.
- The register shows total giving of £2,000, and no grant range is published, so a modest, specific request is more realistic than a large one.
- No application process is published, so the contact shown on its website is the way in.
- The funder says it works proactively with existing partners, that partnerships should align with its mission, and that it invests in high-quality, targeted ideas, so a short, mission-focused enquiry is a sensible first step.
- Any ongoing tailored support is renewed only against clear KPIs and a mutual bespoke agreement, so be ready to set measurable goals.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The Richmond Project funds and partners with organisations working to increase number confidence and competence in the UK. Its purpose is to help people of all ages build confidence with numbers in everyday life, supporting more fulfilling lives, social mobility and a thriving society. It describes support for innovative organisations with bold ideas to drive change at scale, and works proactively with existing partners in two ways: tailored support and funding to help organisations grow and scale, or funding for organisations with fewer support needs or goals their grantees can achieve. Its investment spans novel research and sharing findings, funding and expertise for targeted ideas to develop, improve and scale their impact, raising awareness and driving cultural change through everyday numbers, and addressing gaps in provision with original concepts. Renewal of tailored support is based on clear KPIs and a mutual bespoke agreement.
