Think Charitable Foundation

The Think Charitable Foundation is a UK-registered charitable company limited by guarantee (Charity No. 1156979), dedicated exclusively to preventing or relieving poverty and financial hardship. Established with a clear mandate outlined in its governing documents, it provides grants to individuals in need and to charities or community organisations advancing the same goals. Its core values—public benefit, transparency, and responsible stewardship—are upheld by a board of trustees who double as directors, ensuring compliance with both charity and company law while prioritising flexible, immediate relief through unrestricted funds.

The foundation funds direct financial assistance for individuals facing economic disadvantage, as well as project costs, core funding, and charitable initiatives by organisations tackling poverty prevention. Beneficiaries include people in hardship and groups delivering practical poverty relief, with no thematic diversions—recent grants consistently target grassroots efforts in England and Wales without geographic priorities.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups of any size, though it shows a preference for smaller and medium organisations without strict income thresholds. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; instead, charities should submit preliminary enquiries via email with a concise two-page case for support, accounts, annual report, and budgets. Grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000 (most £2,000–£5,000), awarded on a rolling basis as trustees meet periodically, with decisions following direct follow-up.

Distinctively focused solely on poverty relief, it excludes non-aligned activities and stands out for its dual governance, unwavering mission, and support for both individuals and organisations, offering straightforward, needs-based funding without formal rounds or portals.
