The Newcore Foundation is a UK charitable incorporated organisation established in 2020 by Hugo Llewelyn and Harry Savory of Newcore Capital, a specialist real estate investment manager. Rooted in values of responsible capitalism, sustainability, transparency, and social infrastructure, the Foundation channels a portion of its parent company's annual profits into philanthropy. It emphasises systemic change, enduring partnerships, and measurable outcomes, aligning with B Corp principles and UN PRI standards. What makes the Foundation distinctive is its corporate profit linkage, long-term ambition, and focus on social infrastructure, with no religious restrictions or overt exclusions.
What Newcore Foundation funds
The Foundation supports charities tackling homelessness, social inequality, education, health, prisoner rehabilitation, and environmental improvement. It funds project work, core costs, and capacity building, often through flexible, multi-year commitments to foster tangible social and environmental impact. The Foundation works with vulnerable and marginalised communities across England and Wales, prioritising high-impact partners aligned with responsible investment and UK-wide equity. The Foundation’s multi-thematic approach covers areas such as education access, wellbeing, local economies, and reduced emissions, reflecting its commitment to systemic change and social infrastructure.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in England or Wales. The Foundation has no specified income thresholds but prefers organisations demonstrating strong impact and capacity; small, medium, and large entities qualify. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—the Foundation works by invitation only, through networks, advisors, and partnerships. There are no religious restrictions, making it suitable for a wide range of high-impact partners.
What Newcore Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not fund organisations that are not UK-registered charities, nor does it support work outside England and Wales. It has no religious restrictions or other overt exclusions, so most high-impact charities aligned with its themes are considered.
How they like to fund
