globalimpact.org.ukAbout Global Impact UK
Global Impact UK is a registered charity and philanthropy advisor established in 2016, operating as part of the wider Global Impact group. It acts as a trusted intermediary, mobilising resources through donor-advised funds, advisory services and networks that include UN affiliates, global foundations and corporate partners. Rather than making direct grants, the organisation equips private sector and nonprofit partners with tools and strategic partnerships to inspire greater giving. Its values centre on trust, humility, expertise, community building, transparency, accountability and public benefit. This intermediary model allows it to facilitate philanthropic collaboration across sectors while maintaining rigorous governance and ethical practices.
What Global Impact UK funds
Global Impact UK supports broad, impact-oriented causes aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These include gun violence prevention, civil rights, social action, advocacy, humanitarian relief, international development, health and refugee aid. Funding may be directed towards project support, capacity building, emergency aid, core costs and innovative pilots. The charity's work benefits vulnerable and underserved populations both in the UK and worldwide. There are no stated geographic, income or entity restrictions on the causes it supports, but all funding flows through pre-selected partners rather than open programmes.
Who can apply
Engagement with Global Impact UK is by invitation only, through tailored partnerships. The organisation works with a range of pre-selected organisations, from local charities to major international NGOs. Beneficiaries are vulnerable and underserved populations across the UK and globally. There are no specified income or entity restrictions, and no religious criteria are applied. Because the charity does not run open grant programmes or accept unsolicited applications, potential partners are approached directly rather than applying.
What Global Impact UK doesn't fund
Global Impact UK does not accept unsolicited applications or run open grant programmes. It does not fund individuals or organisations that are not pre-selected through its partnership networks. The charity focuses on enabling cross-sector collaboration rather than supporting standalone projects outside of its tailored partnerships.
