East Head Impact
About This Funder
East Head Impact is a UK charitable foundation established in October 2021 by Marc Boughton, a seasoned investment manager, to drive purposeful, scalable philanthropy in Health, Education, and The Planet, closely aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Governed by three trustees with expertise in philanthropy, asset management, and private equity, it emphasizes rigorous, research-led funding, thorough outcome assessments, ongoing monitoring, and collaborative partnerships to achieve measurable systemic change for human wellbeing, educational access, and planetary sustainability. Its distinctive approach leverages the founder's global networks for evidence-driven, adaptive strategies that blend direct impact with scalability.
The foundation prioritizes mental and physical health initiatives (e.g., sports injury prevention, mental health hubs), education for disadvantaged children (e.g., primary schooling and apprenticeships in Madagascar and Nepal), and environmental projects (e.g., UK coastal habitat restoration via Solent Seascape). It targets overlooked groups like children in developing countries and youth facing mental health challenges, favoring multi-year interventions that disseminate best practices.
Eligible entities include established charities and NGOs of medium to large size capable of high-impact, scalable work, with no geographic, income, or religious restrictions—funding spans UK and international projects. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; opportunities arise via proactive invitation based on strategic fit. Typical grants range £50,000–£500,000 (averaging £150,000–£350,000), often multi-year, totaling over £3.7 million across 29 grants by 2025. It excludes unrestricted core costs and emergency relief, standing out for its investment-savvy scrutiny, cross-sector co-funding, and commitment to accountability over volume.
