About Greene and Co Charity Limited

Greene and Co Charity Limited is a small, traditional grant-maker established in 1970 and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Governed by a small Council of Management of two unremunerated trustees and with no paid staff, the Trust is dedicated to a single mission: preventing or relieving poverty among the general public. It takes a cautious, conservative approach to stewardship, drawing on investment income to make direct grants to individuals facing hardship and to organisations supporting those in need. The Trust funds exclusively poverty relief efforts across England and Wales, including core costs and direct aid for individuals and small to medium-sized charities and community groups. It does not prioritise specific demographics, project types, or sub-themes such as health, education, or employment; all grants must align strictly with its constitutional poverty objective. It prefers smaller organisations, though no formal income thresholds apply. What makes Greene and Co distinctive is its low-profile, invitation-only approach. It does not accept unsolicited applications; trustees identify and award grants at their discretion. It does not fund activities outside poverty relief, and it has no public-facing materials or impact reporting, prioritising proven need over innovation or scale.
