Emergence Foundation

The Emergence Foundation is a UK-based educational charity and grant-giving organization. It was established with the aim of fostering personal, societal, and global transformation. The organization seeks to create a more compassionate, equitable, and sustainable world by supporting innovative projects and change-makers across various sectors, including education, community building, arts, ecology, and spiritual growth[1].

Mission and Focus

The foundation's mission emphasizes the importance of collaboration, creativity, and consciousness in transforming global culture.

The Emergence Foundation focuses on advancing moral or spiritual welfare by promoting education related to spiritual enlightenment and self-realization[4][5].

History

The Emergence Foundation was formed by the trustees of the UK educational charity EnlightenNext, which ceased its activities in 2013. The purpose of forming the Emergence Foundation was to dispose of EnlightenNext's financial assets in a way that aligned with its original vision and guiding principles[1]. Between 2018 and 2021, the foundation distributed its funds through a series of grant-giving rounds aimed at supporting projects that resonated with its mission[1].

Governance and Finances

The Emergence Foundation is managed by a board of three trustees who oversee its operations and administration[4][5]. As of the financial year ending December 2023, the foundation reported zero income but an expenditure of £108,059[4]. The charity is up to date with its reporting obligations to the Charity Commission[4].

Activities and Support

The foundation supports a wide range of social enterprises, charities, and projects engaged in promoting individual, organizational, and cultural uplift. It encourages collaborative and creative approaches to societal challenges, emphasizing the need for transformative change that begins with individuals and communities[1][3].
