Lightbulb Trust

Through a combination of grant-making and impact investing, Lightbulb supports initiatives that enfranchise society’s less advantaged. They seek to bridge divides and make a difference: specifically, in the fields of literacy and learning, digital inclusion and social infrastructure. Founded in West London, their drive is to improve the lives of others, both locally and farther afield. To achieve this, they offer funding and support to entrepreneurial organisations with strong social drive. These include grass roots community initiatives – local heroes helping their areas thrive – as well as more systemic, disruptive enterprises – game-changers who have had bold ‘lightbulb moments’, big ideas that challenge the way things traditionally get done.
