About Stanley Grundy Foundation Limited

The Stanley Grundy Foundation is a UK grantmaker established in 1964 by Stanley Grundy CBE. Its mission is to advance education, relieve poverty, support children and young people, and aid medical charities through pragmatic, impactful funding. The Foundation favours smaller, specialist charities and prioritises research, innovation, and areas underserved by larger funders. It makes modest grants to enable tangible outcomes.

The Foundation supports UK-registered charities operating in or from the United Kingdom. It funds project delivery in education, poverty relief, youth support, health, and disability, with a particular interest in research and innovation. Grants are typically modest in size.

The Foundation does not fund core costs, endowments, capital projects, or individuals. It also excludes religious charities, military charities, location-specific charities, and cultural organisations. Its distinctive approach is to support grassroots innovators with flexible, responsive funding for high-impact projects.
