LSEG Foundation
About This Funder
The LSEG Foundation, established in 2019 as an independent grant-making charity from London Stock Exchange Group and Refinitiv Charities, drives economic empowerment for underserved individuals and communities worldwide, aiming to support one million people by 2030. Rooted in inclusion, systemic change, and sustainable development, it leverages LSEG's global presence through strategic, multi-year partnerships with NGOs, emphasizing measurable impact in education, employability, enterprise, financial literacy, social mobility, gender equality, and technology inclusion. Key beneficiaries include children and youth in low-income areas, girls and women entrepreneurs, and crisis-affected communities, with funded programs like Room to Read's literacy initiatives, Skills Builder's skills training across UK, South Africa, India, and Kenya, Women's World Banking for low-income women in India, Mexico, and Nigeria, Girls Who Code's STEM access, and UNICEF's girls' skills in Zambia.
Eligible entities are registered charities and NGOs focused on education, employment, enterprise, or disaster relief, with no income thresholds or geographic restrictions, though priority goes to underserved areas in LSEG's regions (UK, EMEA, Americas, Asia Pacific). It supports small grassroots groups to large international organizations.
Grants cover project funding, core costs, multi-year partnerships, and emergency relief, with sizes varying from small local awards to substantial strategic commitments (e.g., matching employee donations up to £2,000); amounts are not publicly fixed. Applications are invite-only via regional committees, LSEG networks, and trustee approval, with rolling decisions post due diligence—no unsolicited submissions or fixed deadlines. Exclusions include political causes, purely faith-promoting activities, and personal fundraising. Distinctive for its evidence-based, globally scalable model aligned with net-zero transitions and financial expertise, it ensures transparency, anti-discrimination, and robust impact tracking.
