We support community organisations to develop and evolve their capacity, and to pursue innovation in effectively linking and pursuing goals of social justice and environmental sustainability. We have a particular concern to engage with initiatives in their early development stage, organisations at the point of start-up, and organisations scaling up voluntary endeavours to systematic levels of endeavour.

We support community initiatives for transitions to social justice and environmental sustainability, by enabling community organisations to:
  • devise and pursue new forms of action capable of achieving change for social justice and environmental sustainability, within and for their communities;
  • engage in creative and effective responses to changing contexts for their communities, realisingopportunities from these and building resilience to face the challenges that might be involved;
  • create coalitions across communities to build impetus behind shared agendas for social justice and environmental sustainability;
  • involve collaboration across organisations to creatively link the pursuit of social justice and environmental sustainability goals; and
  • pursue strategies to effectively drive and secure implementation and impact of relevant national policy at local community level.

The Transition Foundation is in its start-up phase, working to:

  • engage with philanthropists committed to informing and realising this model of philanthropy; and
  • develop a pipeline of projects for support, by engaging with community organisations with potential for innovative and effective action.

In this start-up phase, we work to a target of identifying and enabling three organisations with practical support and funding to cover core-costs, over a three-year period, to open up or scale up their work for social justice and environmental sustainability, and to build their financial resilience.
