twomagpiesfund.co.ukAbout Two Magpies Fund
Two Magpies Fund is a philanthropic foundation established in 2020, registered as a charitable incorporated organisation. It supports small local charities and community groups tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) and alleviating child poverty in four London boroughs: Camden, Islington, Haringey, and Westminster. The Fund's mission is to deliver swift, practical funding to frontline organisations aiding women survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking, forced marriage, FGM, and modern slavery, alongside primary school-aged children facing poverty. Rooted in trust-based philanthropy, it emphasises minimal bureaucracy, multi-year unrestricted or core grants, and relational partnerships. The Fund prioritises grassroots groups providing direct, holistic support that enhances recovery, safety, and life chances for at-risk women and children. Its distinctive hyper-local focus and responsive culture back specialist advice, emergency aid, and deprivation-tackling initiatives.
