Oak Foundation was formally established in 1983. Since then we have been growing steadily and today we have 11 active programmes, all committed to addressing issues of global, social and environmental concern.

Our six main programmes are: Environment, Child Abuse, Housing and Homelessness, International Human Rights, Issues Affecting Women and Learning Differences. There are four national programmes: Brazil, Denmark, India and Zimbabwe. In addition there is also the Special Interest Programme, which funds causes the Trustees wish to support that fall outside the remits of the other programmes.
