About Engineering for Human Development
From the water we drink and the clothes we wear to the houses we live in, good engineering is critical for improving people’s lives. Engineering is a key tool and driver for human development. The Happold Foundation aims to further human development by supporting the capacity of people and organisations to understand and undertake high quality engineering projects.
We carefully select projects and activities that reflect our aims, and further our goals to use engineering to improve the lives of people and communities.
Helping on the most recent phase of construction at Bunyonyi is exactly why I became an engineer. My three months was an enormous privilege and an experience I will always treasure.

Organisational Grants
We want to help support not-for-profit organisations doing excellent work in areas of human development and the built environment by offering a three year core funding grant. Funding is unrestricted, and may be spent on anything the organisation deems appropriate and effective.
The funding window is now closed. We will update this page when the grants are open for applications again.
