Coverdale Foundation

The Coverdale Foundation is a private charitable trust registered in England and Wales since 2013 (charity number 1154598), with a core mission to relieve poverty and protect good health worldwide for public benefit, especially those in hardship, sickness, or financial distress.

It funds initiatives advancing health, overseas aid, accommodation provision, religious activities, and general charitable purposes benefiting children, young people, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and the wider public. Support includes project funding, core costs, and general grants to organizations, with occasional direct aid to individuals, emphasizing long-term relationships with a select few beneficiaries.

Eligible applicants are limited to existing partners and long-term beneficiaries; unsolicited applications are not accepted or acknowledged. There are no specified restrictions on legal entity types, organizational income, or geographic base, though funding primarily targets South Gloucestershire activities with scope for UK-wide and international projects aligned to its objects.

In the year ending 2023, the foundation distributed around £147,000 in significant grants to a small number of recipients, with no published minimums, maximums, or deadlines. Applications occur strictly by invitation, with no open process for new charities or the general public.
