Trusted Executive Charitable Foundation

The Trusted Executive Charitable Foundation (TTECF), established in May 2017 and registered as charity 1173046 in England & Wales, supports UK Christian charities through grants paired with leadership development, fostering high-trust relationships between the charitable and corporate sectors. Guided by Christian values of stewardship, compassion, and kindness—inspired by Paul of Tarsus—its mission is to catalyse transformational change by building character, empowering leaders, and bridging divides for more effective philanthropy.

TTECF funds projects relieving disadvantage among vulnerable groups facing youth, age, ill-health, disability, poverty, unemployment, or social exclusion, alongside advancing the holistic development, employability, spiritual, moral, and physical wellbeing of young people under 25. It prioritises faith-based initiatives in youth empowerment, poverty alleviation, community advancement, and business-charity partnerships, emphasising direct impact, capacity-building, and relational outcomes over standalone financial aid.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities with a clear Christian ethos, operating and delivering outcomes within the UK; no strict income limits apply, though smaller to medium organisations are preferred. Applications are accepted unsolicited via email to the Chairman on a rolling basis, with no deadlines—expect trustee review and response as needed, plus requests for documentation and commitment to impact reporting and joint publicity.

TTECF does not fund non-Christian, non-UK, or unregistered entities, nor general overheads without leadership ties. Its distinctive model—combining £5,000–£25,000 project grants with strategic leadership investment—sets it apart among faith-based funders, uniquely promoting enduring trust-based partnerships and corporate engagement for societal good.
