HAMPSHIRE FOUNDATION

Their philanthropic work started in Peru in 2000, where part of the family comes from. Hampshire Foundation supported farmer cooperatives, agribusinesses and lending institutions to give smallholder farmers access to finance, agricultural inputs and markets. From 2013, Montpelier Foundation expanded the work to Africa and Asia to help rural communities improve their livelihoods and young people access education and jobs... In 2020, at the start of the decisive decade for climate, the foundations started a new global strategy focused on climate change. We continue to support our existing partners in the livelihoods sector, and Hampshire Foundation continues to support local sustainability initiatives in the state of Connecticut... Our portfolios focus on different levers of action to create accountability and improve know-how. They include shaping and enforcing strong laws and policies, addressing vested interests, transferring knowledge, and empowering people.
