register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Beaulieu Beaufort Foundation
The Beaulieu Beaufort Foundation is a small charitable trust established in 2008 by E S Fort OBE LLD, with ongoing involvement from local figures such as Lord Montagu. Rooted in values of encouragement, self-realisation and practical local impact, it takes a proactive, trustee-led approach that prioritises tangible benefits for communities and people in need. Operating with low overheads and a discreet style, the foundation avoids publicity and bureaucracy, focusing instead on rapid, pragmatic support. Its funding comes from trustee initiatives, recommendations or existing relationships, and the foundation prefers hyper-local, lesser-known causes over formal programmes.
What Beaulieu Beaufort Foundation funds
The foundation supports a broad spectrum of grassroots causes, including education for young people, social welfare, health support, sports, performing arts and animal welfare. Funding is flexible and can cover project costs, core costs, capacity building, personal needs or emergency relief. The focus is on small organisations and individuals delivering direct, tangible benefits in Hampshire and neighbouring southern counties. Large-scale, capital, strategic or national projects are not supported; instead, the foundation concentrates on hyper-local initiatives where support can have an immediate practical impact.
Who can apply
The foundation funds UK-registered charities, community groups and individuals with strong local ties. It has a clear preference for small organisations that deliver direct benefits within Hampshire and the surrounding southern counties.
