The Soho House Foundation

We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not

The Soho House Foundation exists to provide resources to fund and empower creatives from underrepresented and lower socioeconomic backgrounds

The creative industries today don’t accurately represent our society. Underrepresented groups in the creative economy, based on ethnicity or socioeconomic background, face barriers to succeed.

As a global membership platform for creatives, we can see first-hand the benefits of providing opportunities for diverse talent to flourish. We’re passionate about using the knowledge and network we’ve built to open doors in the industry for people who are otherwise shut out.

The Soho House Foundation is an independent charitable entity set up by Soho House to fund and empower creatives to flourish by providing grants to organisations working worldwide.

The company has pledged to make an annual donation because we believe in a world where being a successful creative is a viable life choice, not just a privileged one. We’re excited to partner with programmes making that a reality.

Since the beginning of 2023 we have worked with 8 charity partners across North America, the UK, Europe and Asia, funding organisations that are doing brilliant work in the communities local to our Houses and members.

You can find out more about them below.

Our 2024 grant programme opens in March.

In addition to an annual grant programme, the Foundation works with carefully selected charity partners in local communities and to aid disaster relief.
