Beyond Finance Charitable Trust
About This Funder
Beyond Finance Charitable Trust, originally founded in 1998 as County Financial Charitable Trust by Peter and Miriam Green alongside Alan Lander in connection with County Financial Limited, embodies a Christian-inspired mission to advance the faith by combating poverty, oppression, and economic exploitation. Rooted in biblical stewardship principles exemplified by George Müller and John Wesley, it channels business surplus profits into charitable causes, restoring dignity through work, economic independence, debt advice, and personal finance education. Its distinctive approach treats giving as accountable investment, demanding rigorous accountability, detailed outcome reporting, and direct project impact to maximise human well-being among the poorest and most marginalised.
The Trust funds initiatives providing economic opportunities, essential amenities like water and sanitation, small business loans for self-sufficiency, and poverty alleviation efforts. UK partners include charities like Christians Against Poverty, while international grants support sustainable overseas projects. It prioritises small to medium-sized charities and grassroots organisations delivering tangible, transformative results with modest resources, spanning the UK and globally without geographic restrictions.
Grants typically range from £5,000 to £30,000, focusing on project costs, capital, or seed funding for empowerment rather than core costs or overheads. It does not accept unsolicited applications—only pre-selected partners via trustee invitation—and holds ad hoc meetings for decisions, with no deadlines. Exclusions include emergency relief, general running costs, and activities lacking clear evidence of sustainable impact. What sets it apart is its evangelical Christian ethos, strategic selectivity, and unyielding emphasis on stewardship, making it ideal for faith-aligned organisations excelling in financial exclusion relief and economic uplift.
