A T.I.M.E. Limited

A T.I.M.E. Limited (charity number 1128756) is a London-based grant-giving and advocacy organization governed by six trustees and supported by five volunteers, generating around £900,000 annually from trading activities to fund its mission of overcoming disadvantage and hardship. Established as a generalist funder, it provides grants to both individuals and organizations alongside advocacy, advice, and information services, emphasizing responsive support without a rigid strategic framework or published theory of change. Its ethos prioritizes flexibility and breadth, distinguishing it through dual focus on financial aid and non-grant support in a trustee-led, volunteer-backed model.

The funder supports a wide array of charitable purposes with no specified thematic priorities, beneficiary groups, or sectoral focus such as health, education, or disability—making it suitable for diverse causes addressing hardship. It backs people and communities broadly, funding both organizations and individuals without publicized examples or restrictions on project types like core costs, capital, or unrestricted support, all at trustee discretion.

Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is invite-only with no public guidelines, online forms, deadlines, or application processes—prospective recipients must be approached or invited privately. There are no income/size thresholds, geographic limits (open to any UK or potentially international, though UK-regulated), or entity requirements beyond charitable status. Typical grant ranges and sizes are undisclosed, though substantial aggregate distributions occur annually. Distinctively, its lack of exclusions or narrow focus positions it as a versatile, discretion-driven option for general charitable needs, setting it apart from themed or competitive funders.
