Who we are
Funding FISH is a grant makers collaborative dedicated to achieving sustainable fisheries in Europe.
We recognise implementing the recently reformed Common Fisheries Policy presents real opportunities for progress and yet there will also be significant challenges.
In 2015 a handful of philanthropic foundations came together to benefit from working more closely and pooling resources.
The current funding partners are...
Heather Ludemann
Programme Officer at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and leads the work on marine conservation and fisheries management in the U.S.
Kristian Parker

Karlijn Steinbusch
Programme Manager of the People and Nature Programme at the Adessium Foundation.
"The coming period until 2020 will be crucial for the successful implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy. Funding Fish is one of our key partners on this issue and adds value for the Adessium Foundation; acting as a strategic grantmaker, enabling us to align our funding with others and benefiting from the collective knowledge and experience of those involved."
