Trusts and Foundations
If you’re a grant-making trust, foundation or a major donor, we can build long-term partnerships with you that play an invaluable role in funding our work for building economic literacy for all.
The Economic Research Council (ERC) is the UK’s oldest economic think tank. Our mission as an education charity is to make economic knowledge accessible, fostering understanding, and informed decision-making for all. Our dedication towards economic education, dialogue promotion, and the inclusion of diverse perspectives creates opportunities for active participation in economic conversations.
We don’t want to just stop here! Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality economic insights and to cultivate a community of learners, leaders, and thinkers dedicated to driving positive change in the world. By bridging the gap between academic research and public understanding, and promoting a pluralistic approach to economic thought, we seek to empower a more informed, critical-thinking, and economically literate society, equipped to navigate the complexities of the global economy with openness and insight.

By fostering an environment where varied economic theories and methodologies are explored and respected, we encourage robust debate and a deeper understanding of economic phenomena. Pluralism guides our research, events, and educational programs, ensuring that we consider a wide range of viewpoints and solutions. This commitment to pluralism enriches our discourse and empowers us to approach economic challenges with creativity and insight.
