The Inflexion Foundation supports environmental conservation, education, and climate innovation through strategic partnerships. In London, the Foundation's support for the London Wildlife Trust has inspired "thousands of primary-school aged children through contact with nature in their local neighbourhoods" [1]Pro. Between April 2023 and March 2024, the London Wildlife Trust engaged 17,875 children and young people in educational activities in London [1]Pro. This support also funds "specific species reintroduction," particularly for glow-worms in London, which are in sharp decline due to habitat fragmentation, loss, and pesticide use [1]Pro. Leah McNally, Director of Learning Youth & Communities at London Wildlife Trust, noted that children are learning that "with their help, nature can really thrive in our city" [1]Pro.

In Lancashire, the Foundation's support enables "outreach nature education to be delivered directly into schools," fostering connections with wildlife and nature and embedding a forest school ethos [1]Pro. This support has also led to the "creation, restoration and enhancement of 1,500m of hedgerows in Greater Manchester" [1]Pro. Megan Kelsall, Partnerships Manager for Lancashire Wildlife Trust, stated that "Inflexions regionally targeted donation will support our reach in Greater Manchester and pave a route forward for the next generation to take action for nature as part of their future" [1]Pro. The Lancashire Wildlife Trust provides environmental education to 30,000 children in Lancashire annually [1]Pro.

The Inflexion Foundation maintains a strategic partnership with the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), directly supporting two projects: "Geography for All" and "Earth Stories" [2]Pro. "Geography for All" aims to "broaden access to geography and foster diversity within the discipline" [2]Pro. Professor Joe Smith, Director of the Royal Geographical Society, stated that Inflexion's support "has enhanced our partnership working and maximised our collective impact, facilitating the cross-pollination of approaches in pursuing a greater number as well as a wider range of students studying geography at all education stages" and "helped us embed the Geography for All initiative project work directly into our core activities" [2]Pro. "Earth Stories" is designed to "improve sustainability communication by connecting top climate and biodiversity experts with culture and media leaders to enhance public understanding of the subject" [2]Pro.

Furthermore, the Foundation's strategic partnership with the Grantham Institute supports "Undaunteds climate innovation accelerator programme, The Greenhouse" [2]Pro. This 12-month program, one of the UK's first climate-focused accelerators, has "supported over 165 pre-seed startups since 2012" [2]Pro. It provides up to £20,000 in equity-free catalytic funding, business coaching, mentoring, masterclasses, workshops, and access to Imperial College London's technical facilities and workspaces [2]Pro. Alyssa Gilbert, Director of Undaunted and Director of Innovation at the Grantham Institute, reported that the "ventures weve supported have gone on to raise upwards of $1.3bn in investment, operating across 30 countries and creating over 1,600 jobs globally" [2]Pro. Gilbert emphasized that the "tech" developed by these ventures "needs to be scalable as well as sustainable" and "will have increasingly vital real-world impact over the coming decades" [2]Pro. The Greenhouse program boasts an "88% survival rate of startups graduating" and an "85% success rate of startups raising a minimum of £100k of follow-on funding" [2]Pro. In 2024, the Inflexion Foundation provided a grant of £390,000 to the Grantham Institute [3]Pro.
