River Farm Foundation
About This Funder
The River Farm Foundation is a Norwich-based grant-making charity registered in England and Wales since 2006 (charity number 1113109), governed by a small board of three trustees with robust financial controls and compliant stewardship. As a general-purpose grant-maker funded primarily through investments—with recent annual charitable expenditure exceeding £600,000—it holds a deliberately broad mandate to support any good causes at trustees' discretion, without thematic restrictions, founding visions, core values, or specified outcomes. This highly flexible, agnostic approach distinguishes it as a rare generalist private trust in the UK landscape, prioritizing trustee judgment over predefined strategies.
It funds a wide array of charitable activities, including projects, core costs, capital, or unrestricted support, with no stated priorities for causes, beneficiaries, or programmes—making it suitable for diverse needs where trustees perceive impact. There are no exclusions for specific sectors, religious affiliations, or beneficiary groups.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based anywhere in the UK, with no income, size, or organisational restrictions. Unsolicited applications are accepted via letter (no forms or online portal) to the legal contact at Fisher Legal LLP, outlining the organisation, activities, and funding need with supporting documents. Trustees meet biannually to review submissions, with no published deadlines or timelines—expect several months for decisions. Grant sizes are unspecified and fully discretionary, reflecting the Foundation's confidential, case-by-case ethos without public grant breakdowns or impact reports.
