About This Funder
Greenwood Place, founded in 2017, is a certified B Corp philanthropy advisory firm that empowers high-net-worth individuals, families, and foundations to maximise their social and environmental impact through strategic advice, implementation support, and executive management. Acting as a trusted advisor and outsourced team, it helps clients clarify goals, build focused giving strategies, and run charitable programmes effectively. Rooted in values of compassion, flexibility, rigour, objectivity, integrity, and respect, Greenwood Place emphasises collaboration, humility, adaptability, and entrepreneurial action to drive evidence-based, ambitious philanthropy that tackles complex injustices, aspiring for giving to "punch above its weight" globally and in the UK.
Issue-agnostic and client-led, it supports diverse causes including climate action, conservation, hunger relief, girls' education, workforce inclusion, mental health, social mobility, early intervention for vulnerable groups, and global health. Beneficiaries span women facing economic barriers, smallholder farmers, at-risk youth, vulnerable children, and environmental organisations, with notable grantees like Smart Works, Kheyti, Canopy, mothers2mothers, and Jamie’s Farm. It favours innovative, scalable solutions driving systemic change via project funding, core costs, unrestricted grants, and capacity building for charities of all sizes, from grassroots to established, with no income thresholds or geographic restrictions.
Grants typically range from £10,000 to £500,000 annually, often multi-year, with rolling decisions through managed funds representing over $81 million in cumulative giving. Applications are invite-only, sourced via networks and rigorous due diligence—no unsolicited submissions accepted. Distinctive for its hands-on portfolio management, global site visits, peer exchanges, and convening power across 24 clients funding 94 charities, Greenwood Place excels in bespoke, relationship-driven strategies eschewing transactional giving for long-term, high-impact ecosystems.
