The Tudor Trust (Tudor) is an endowed foundation, committed to using all its resources and capital to build power in communities for a just future.
Our vision is for a world as it should be.
Tudor is a transformed funder with a mission to advance racial justice through investing in communities creating systems in which everyone can thrive. Through our transformation journey, our staff and trustees have worked together, with our communities, to explore what it takes to commit all our capital and assets to working in service of our mission. We are now committed to funding in ways that encourage collaboration, resource ecosystems and move away from competitive processes rooted in a scarcity mindset.

Strategic innovation
Earlier iterations of the Board stewarded a fully expendable endowment on the principles of a gradual spend-down of our capital. The current Board has reflected on whether a slow spend out is still the right strategic approach in the current economic, social and political climate. Given how rapidly the world is changing, and how communities are responding with deepening levels of resilience, we have made the strategic decision to remain operational for a longer-term trajectory. This means that Tudor must now build strategy which is neither a ‘spend-out’, nor a foundation constrained by a constitutional requirement to stay open in perpetuity.
Your opportunity to join us
Tudor is now seeking a new member to join the Board who shares our ambition and commitment to systemic change, and together with the wider Tudor community, will shape the longer-term strategy.
We are specifically seeking a candidate with expertise in investment, ideally with an understanding of emerging and developing investment models and approaches that challenge the traditional assumptions about how capital is stewarded, how risk and return are understood and how wealth is held and circulated.
