About Fine & Country Foundation

The Fine & Country Foundation is a grant-making trust established in 2014 by the global Fine & Country estate agency network. Their mission is to combat homelessness and poverty, guided by values of integrity, honesty, collaboration, inclusivity, and transparency. The foundation funds through strategic grants and community engagement, leveraging its property sector connections to support frontline services. Their approach is rooted in practical, hands-on support for charities tackling the root causes of housing insecurity, focusing on direct, measurable impact for individuals and families affected by homelessness and poverty.

The foundation supports UK-registered charities delivering frontline services that combat homelessness and poverty. This includes projects that prevent homelessness, provide care for individuals experiencing homelessness, and help people permanently exit street homelessness.

Grants are available across the UK, with a focus on charities working with homeless people and the general public affected by poverty.
