Cecos Foundation

Cecos Foundation is a UK-registered charitable company established on 11 December 2019, with a mission to relieve poverty, advance education, and preserve good health, targeting vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals across all ages and communities. Directed by three trustees and a small volunteer team from a London office, it upholds traditional philanthropic values through agile, impact-focused grant-making, emphasizing direct social needs, ethical governance, risk management, and transparent annual reporting under Charity Commission oversight.

The foundation prioritizes poverty alleviation, educational access (including scholarships, training, and tuition), and health/wellbeing interventions, supporting non-profits via project funding, core costs, and capacity building. Grants aid organizations delivering tangible outcomes for at-risk groups, reflecting a generalist approach aligned with England and Wales charitable law, without narrow thematic limits.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating UK-wide, with a preference for small to medium-sized entities working directly with communities; no strict income thresholds or religious restrictions apply. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—invitations are issued at trustees' discretion based on networks and alignment. Decisions occur at quarterly meetings with no public deadlines; typical grants range from £5,000 to £25,000, occasionally higher for high-impact needs.

Cecos distinguishes itself with broad charitable scope, streamlined operations, and a balance of immediate relief and long-term stewardship, enabling wide alignment for UK charities demonstrating genuine social impact while excluding non-charitable or non-UK activities.
