About Hannah
Hannah joined the Howden Foundation as Partnerships Manager in March 2024. This is her first role in corporate philanthropy, having previously led the Tudor Trust’s international grant-making programme on locally-led agroecology in sub-Saharan Africa, progressing on to co-lead the Grants Team with an annual portfolio of £20M. She has also held governance positions, including at the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, where she was Vice-Chair between 2021 and 2023.
Hannah is passionate about the role that locally-led, catalytic and empowering grant-making can play. Prior to moving into philanthropy 15 years ago, she led frontline charity projects in international NGOs such as Peace Direct, Quaker Peace and Social Witness. Hannah holds an MSc in International Relations from LSE.
