register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Lower Green Foundation
The Lower Green Foundation is a registered charitable trust in England and Wales, established in 2010. It operates with a highly generalist remit and no formal mission statement or thematic priorities, embodying a flexible, trustee-led approach focused on public benefit. The trustees—Chair Mr S Beecham, Marina Sajitz, and Mr Laurence Billett—exercise absolute discretion in furthering exclusively charitable objects under English law anywhere in the world. The Foundation funds any charitable cause or purpose globally, without specified themes, beneficiaries, programmes, or intervention types. This ultra-flexible, non-strategic model sets it apart from themed or open funders.
What Lower Green Foundation funds
The Foundation supports any charitable cause or purpose globally, as determined by the trustees. It may fund project grants, core funding, or other forms of assistance. There are no specified themes, so the Foundation can support a wide range of charitable activities, from local community projects to international initiatives. Grants typically prioritise charities with English or Welsh charitable status, but the Foundation is not restricted to any geographic area. The trustees' evolving judgement guides decisions, with no published strategic focuses or case studies.
Who can apply
Eligible entities are unrestricted, including charities of any size or income. There are no geographic, religious, or organisational requirements, though grants typically prioritise organisations with English or Welsh charitable status. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at the trustees' sole discretion, typically by direct invitation. This means interested parties would need to be approached by the trustees, as there is no open application process.
What Lower Green Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation's only exclusion is non-charitable activities. It does not fund any activity that falls outside the legal definition of charitable purposes under English law. Apart from this, there are no further restrictions on causes, beneficiaries, or types of work supported.
How they like to fund
The Foundation offers project grants, core funding, or other forms of assistance as the trustees deem appropriate. It does not accept unsolicited applications; funding decisions are made ad hoc by the trustees, without formal cycles or published processes. The Foundation's approach is flexible and trustee-led, allowing for a variety of support types.
