RSM UK Foundation
About This Funder
The RSM UK Foundation, established in 2018 as an independent corporate foundation by RSM UK—a leading professional services firm—channels the company's social responsibility into measurable charitable impact. Its mission focuses on creating lasting societal change through support for local, national, and international charities, guided by core values of respect, stewardship, collaboration, and positive contribution. With over £4 million distributed since inception—including £1 million in 2023-24—the foundation emphasizes four anchor pillars: health (e.g., patient support via Anthony Nolan), social mobility (e.g., youth employment through Leadership Through Sport & Business), disability (e.g., inclusive golf with EDGA), and environment (e.g., conservation with The Woodland Trust). It also backs community development, education, and humanitarian aid (e.g., UNICEF crises), delivering via core grants, multi-year strategic partnerships (minimum £150,000 over three years), employee match-funding, and the 'RSM Together' programme (£100,000 annually for local charities selected by RSM offices).
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), with international organisations considered if activities align with UK charitable law; no income thresholds apply, favouring established groups of varying sizes. Priority goes to projects demonstrating measurable impact, employee engagement opportunities, and alignment with thematic pillars, benefiting children, disadvantaged youth, disabled individuals, and those facing health or environmental crises.
Grants typically range £10,000–£20,000 (up to 100% of project/core costs), with applications accepted unsolicited via email (info@rsmukfoundation.com) using the website form, plus supporting documents like proposals, accounts, and registration. Rolling basis with ad hoc trustee meetings (outcomes within three months); no fixed deadlines. Exclusions include individuals (except exceptional cases), repeat applications within two years, and projects in countries with existing RSM foundations. Distinctively, it integrates employee-driven philanthropy and long-term partnerships for scalable impact.
