keatonemeryfoundation.comAbout Keaton Emery Memorial Foundation
The Keaton Emery Memorial Foundation was established in 2017 by Denise and Peter Emery in memory of their son Keaton, honouring his legacy of positivity and compassion. The Foundation’s mission centres on equity, resilience, and improving life chances for underprivileged young people who face barriers. It aims to fund through multi-year, sustainable partnerships that keep administrative burden low, focusing on frontline delivery. The Foundation’s personal origin and strategic clarity allow it to align quickly with charities that share its commitment to young people. Its funding character is defined by a preference for established relationships and a belief in supporting organisations that deliver direct, measurable change.
What Keaton Emery Memorial Foundation funds
The Foundation supports young people up to age 30, particularly those in care or experiencing homelessness. Priority causes include mental health services, education and training, homelessness relief, disability support, and poverty alleviation. It funds frontline delivery services that build wellbeing and future opportunities for young people with complex needs. While primarily focused on the North of England, especially Greater Manchester, the Foundation is not geographically restricted and considers work across the UK. The Foundation is interested in initiatives that address the root causes of disadvantage and promote resilience, including projects that provide mental health support, educational pathways, and housing stability.
Who can apply
The Foundation works with UK-registered charities, typically medium-to-large established organisations with strong governance and proven impact. There is no strict income threshold, but the Foundation looks for financial sustainability. It prioritises charities that deliver services to young people up to age 30, especially those who are care-experienced or homeless. While the Foundation’s focus is on the North of England, particularly Greater Manchester, it does not restrict applications by geography. Organisations that can demonstrate a track record of effective, youth-focused work are most likely to align with the Foundation’s approach.
What Keaton Emery Memorial Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; funding is by invitation only. It excludes capital projects, emergency or seed funding, and direct delivery of services by the Foundation itself. Projects that do not align with the priority causes or target age group are unlikely to be considered.
How they like to fund
The Foundation prefers multi-year, sustainable partnerships that provide core costs and service delivery, with minimal administrative burden. It works by invitation only, with trustees proactively approaching organisations that align with their strategic priorities. Funding is directed towards frontline delivery, and the Foundation values long-term relationships that allow for consistent support.
