About Jigsaw Network C.I.O.

Jigsaw Network C.I.O. is a generalist grantmaker established in 2019, guided by a founding board of trustees. Its mission advances public benefit through relieving poverty, advancing children's education and welfare, supporting citizenship and community development, and promoting religious and racial harmony. The Network values inclusivity and aid for vulnerable groups, offering flexible, responsive funding aligned with UK charity law. It supports a wide array of charitable activities, including poverty alleviation, children's welfare and education, community cohesion, and equality initiatives. Beneficiaries include disadvantaged individuals, children, and communities. Grants are made to organisations and individuals for project work, core costs, and unrestricted support.

It has no narrow thematic restrictions and no exclusions beyond non-charitable aims, making it suitable for generalist charitable purposes.
