SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF 10KIF
We're a small charity with a big mission: we want to build a more inclusive world of work.
To do this, we create internship opportunities for underrepresented talent, but the changing environment of the last year has been tough and now we are responding to a legal challenge about the eligibility criteria of one of our programmes.
Since 2020, we’ve created more than 10,000 internships. We also support our alumni through training and development and shape practice and policy through our data driven insights.
Our programmes are lawful, evidence-based positive action measures under Section 158 of the Equality Act 2010, designed to address clear and persistent underrepresentation. We are confident in the legal basis of our approach.
We are a small team of 12, and are gratefully receiving pro-bono legal support, but our future depends on your support as we navigate this challenging period.
Every little helps, but if you want to go further with a donation of over £2,500 or to support us in a different way, please contact Nana, at nana@10000internsfoundation.com

You’re doing transformative work in a society and state that refuses to acknowledge the systemic bias entrenched in its structure. Wishing you every success with this case

Without this program I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today. The internship they supported me with allowed me the opportunity to showcase my abilities and as a result I have been working at that same firm coming up to 5 years now. I’ll always have immense gratitude for this scheme!

Because of you guys, I got my first corporate job in HR. You brought me the opportunity to be an intern at my first corporate job and I then had the opportunity to apply for a role that came at perfect timing, and here I am today.

The work 10KBI does is very important especially given the current political climate and the state of the job market. After graduating in 2025 and swiftly starting a graduate scheme soon after, I have the experience I gained at an internship I completed the summer before with 10KBI for helping me take the first step onto the career ladder. I believe this is a story shared by many others !
