Aldama Foundation

The Foundation funds a wide range of charitable activities across arts, culture, heritage, health, disability, poverty relief, overseas aid, religious activities, science, animal welfare, environment, conservation, economic and community development, and employment. It supports project costs, core costs, unrestricted funding, and capital expenditure. Geographically, it primarily supports established medium and large charities operating in England, though UK-wide or international projects may also be considered if they align with the Foundation's objects. The Foundation does not prescribe fixed themes or priorities, allowing trustee discretion to support credible organisations with strong public benefit cases.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, primarily established medium and large organisations. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; initial contact is reviewed at trustee discretion. The Foundation prioritises charities with demonstrable impact in arts, heritage, education, or health, though it supports a broad range of causes. Small grassroots groups are not typically supported due to the Foundation's generalist and capacity-focused approach. Beneficiaries include children, youth, elderly, disabled people, other charities, and the general public.

The Foundation avoids narrow specialism, small grassroots groups, or fixed themes. It does not accept unsolicited applications and does not fund organisations that cannot demonstrate strong public benefit. No specific exclusions beyond these qualitative preferences are stated.
