Newcore Foundation

The Newcore Foundation, a UK charitable incorporated organisation established in September 2020 by Hugo Llewelyn and Harry Savory of Newcore Capital—a specialist real estate investment manager—channels at least 10% of its parent company's annual profits into philanthropy. Rooted in values of responsible capitalism, sustainability, transparency, and social infrastructure, it advances public benefit through grants in education, health, relief of need, and environmental protection. Distinctive for its multi-thematic approach, long-term ambition, rigorous ESG impact measurement, B Corp alignment, and UN PRI principles, the Foundation emphasises systemic change, enduring partnerships, and outcomes like enhanced wellbeing, education access, local economies, and reduced emissions.

It prioritises charities tackling homelessness, social inequality, education, health, prisoner rehabilitation, and environmental improvement, supporting vulnerable and marginalised communities across England and Wales. Funding covers project work, core costs, capacity building, and grants to both organisations and individuals, fostering tangible social and environmental impact through flexible, multi-year commitments.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in England or Wales, with no specified income thresholds but a preference for those demonstrating strong impact and capacity; small, medium, and large entities qualify. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—invitations only via networks, advisors, and partnerships—with decisions at regular trustee meetings and awards distributed year-round. Typical grant ranges are undisclosed publicly, reflecting strategic allocation of profits.

Unlike open-call funders, Newcore stands out for its corporate profit linkage, invitation-only model, and focus on social infrastructure without religious restrictions or overt exclusions, making it ideal for high-impact partners aligned with responsible investment and UK-wide equity.
