Considered Ask Foundation
About This Funder
The Considered Ask Foundation, a UK-registered charity established in 2021 by Sophie Kingsley and Anthony Kingsley, tackles entrenched social inequality by ensuring disadvantaged individuals gain access to education, training, and mental wellbeing support to take control of their lives and contribute to society. Rooted in the irrefutable reality of Britain's inequalities in education, employment, and mental health, its mission drives sustainable change through impact-focused philanthropy, rigorous analysis via the proprietary Ask Model (evaluating 39 data points across 10 performance areas like impact, strategy, and leadership), and a collaborative community of philanthropists, investors, and charity experts. This hands-on, partnership-oriented approach prioritizes long-term, measurable outcomes and co-investment for systemic impact.
The foundation funds targeted interventions in education, skills training, employability, and mental health for high-need groups, including educationally disadvantaged youth, care-experienced young people, refugees, prisoners/ex-offenders, and those requiring counselling. It supports skills development, aspiration-building, access to learning/employment, and evidence-based mental health programmes via project grants, unrestricted funding, and capacity-building, backing agile charities that break cycles of disadvantage with proven, scalable models. Notable grantees include Breaking Barriers (refugee integration), First Star (care leavers' education), and Shannon Trust (prisoner literacy).
Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating UK-wide, with a preference for small- to medium-sized organizations (annual income ~£100,000–£2,000,000) demonstrating strong leadership and impact track records; unsolicited applications are not accepted—invitations are issued via targeted outreach, followed by guided evaluation. Typical grants range £25,000–£150,000 (average ~£75,000), often multi-year, with ad hoc trustee meetings and no fixed deadlines.
Distinctively, it avoids generalist funding, emphasizing transparent impact tracking, knowledge-sharing, and population-level change through high-potential charities; misalignment with core themes or weak evidence precludes support.
