Charity partners

Formula 1 works with our charities to build on our sustainability strategy pillar to leave a legacy of positive change by helping those in need wherever we race. Formula 1 has three tiers of charity activations.

Tier 1 – Official Charity Partner, UNICEF.

Formula 1 is partnering with UNICEF to help the world’s most vulnerable children access quality education. It will also bolster UNICEF’s humanitarian response around the world, so it can help protect children in emergencies.

Formula 1’s support over the next three years could help an estimated 6.5 million children from vulnerable and marginalized communities access quality education and enable UNICEF to provide temporary learning places for children in emergencies. This education will include key areas such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, (STEM).

Tier 2 – Charities supported by Formula 1:

Great Ormond Street Hospital, Race Against Dementia, Make-A-Wish and Grace Influential.

We support these charities through event day activations. For example, granting wishes at races across the season. These are impactful moments and help race awareness and funds for their causes.

Tier 3 – Additional Charity Support:

Throughout the season, we support various charitable causes that align with our values by donating items and experiences for auction.

Grace Influential Positive Impact Award:

Formula 1 works alongside Grace Influential to promote the Grace Influential Positive Impact Award. The F1 Teams submit projects across areas of environmental and social sustainability.
Initiatives include supporting children’s charities, creating opportunities for the next generation of motorsports leaders and leading the way on innovative and sustainable technologies.

Race Against Dementia:

Formula 1 support Race Against Dementia, founded by three-time Drivers World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart, by raising awareness of RAD’s drive to accelerate a breakthrough treatment and cure for dementia.

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH):

Formula 1 support GOSH through event activation at the 2023 Silverstone Grand Prix. GOSH will fundraise and raise awareness throughout the Silverstone race weekend, raising vital funds for the children’s hospital.

Make-A-Wish:

Make-A-Wish helps grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Formula 1 will help grant multiple wishes throughout the year, offering race day activations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
