Adobe Foundation

The Adobe Foundation is the philanthropic foundation linked to the company Adobe. Adobe was founded 40 years ago to create innovative technology products and now has offices across the world including London. The Foundation aims to create positive change through support for creative and digital literacy, social equity and opportunity, and active engagement with communities.

We launched our partnership with the Adobe Foundation in 2024. Adobe’s presence in London has grown and they now have a large head office near Old Street. The Foundation has a strong commitment to give back to the communities where they live, and work and we are partnering with them to support them to give back to communities in London. We have worked closely with the Adobe Foundation team to create the Adobe Community Fund. The Fund brings together Adobe’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and their support for creative and digital literacy for all, whilst also addressing the needs of London.

Our core mission is driven by the belief that technology should be a force for good. It’s about equipping people with the tools to tell their stories, shape their futures, and create real change. With the Adobe Foundation, we support initiatives addressing critical issues such as digital literacy, education, and access to technology, empowering individuals and organisations globally.

We are delighted to be working with the Adobe Foundation to launch this fund. Local community organisations are a vital source of support, advice and connection for the Deaf and Disabled community and can be powerful advocates for their rights, but they often lack the funding they need. Through this fund we will prioritise supporting organisations who are led by Deaf and Disabled People, ensuring that the projects themselves have been shaped by the people who need them. The fund will also provide core funding over two years giving the organisations flexibility and stability. I am looking forward to seeing the impact of not just the funding but also the additional support a company like Adobe can offer these community organisations.
