The Frank Jackson Foundation is a grant making trust registered in England, charity number 1007600.   The Foundation was established by the late Mr Frank Jackson M.B.E., a well known businessman and philanthropist from Woodbridge in Suffolk.

Mission
The Foundation’s mission is to support education and learning opportunities both in the UK and in South Africa and to support work being carried out for the benefit of the environment. The Trustees achieve this by funding educational organisations working for the benefit of young people and others, particularly the disadvantaged, and by funding organisations working to foster a sustainable future, countering the effects of climate change.

Education and Learning
Grants given are for the benefit through education and learning, in its widest sense, of the disadvantaged and includes learning life skills, improvement in physical, social and mental wellbeing, outdoor activities, practical skills training and teacher training.

In the UK, the grants are awarded with a bias towards East Anglia, particularly Suffolk.  In South Africa, the Foundation concentrates on projects in the Pietermaritzburg and Cape Town areas.

Environmental projects
The Foundation supports projects developing and implementing practical ways to address the environmental crisis, particularly those which involve engineering solutions to environmental problems.  The Foundation also supports environmental research projects at institutions of higher education particularly those where there are plans for dissemination to a wider audience and with a practical application for a positive change.
