Gloag Foundation

The foundation prioritises anti-poverty efforts, maternal and women's health access, and child welfare. It funds direct service delivery such as medical care, education, shelter, and protection. Specific themes include obstetric fistula repair, children's homes, street children programmes, and youth homelessness. Geographically, the foundation has a sustained focus on Malawi, Kenya, and Sierra Leone, while also supporting health charities, hospices, deprivation initiatives, and youth homelessness programmes in the UK, particularly Scotland.

The foundation supports medium to large, established organisations delivering substantial programmes. Eligible legal entities include community groups. Key beneficiaries include women at risk of maternal injury, orphans, street children, and families in severe poverty. The foundation works through existing partnerships and does not accept unsolicited applications. There is no religious restriction on applicants, though the foundation itself is guided by Christian values.

The foundation avoids small or micro-grants, new grassroots groups, and one-off efforts. It does not accept unsolicited applications, instead focusing on identified priorities through long-term partnerships. Unsolicited proposals are not considered.

The foundation provides multi-year funding, including core and project costs. It works through long-term partnerships rather than short-term projects, taking a proactive, hands-on approach. The foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; funding decisions are made based on identified priorities and existing relationships.
