Through working in partnership with the major universities in the UK we identify ‘social entrepreneurs’ who have established up Community Interest Companies (CIC’s) or Not for profit companies (NFP’s). Quite commonly they are alumni of the university or local to the university. We offer these companies a significant grant and importantly mentor them to help them grow and make a real impact.
We have donated £3m+ to FFF to enable it to make grants of between £100k- £250k each to over 20 CICs in the next four years. As well as mentoring, we will look to offer support services such as finance and marketing.
Our key criteria are the social entrepreneurs themselves and importantly how big an impact they can make on a national level.
Our first two grants have been to two amazing social entrepreneurs who are making a real difference to peoples lives….. as highlighted in the following case studies
In addition, the Foundation will make smaller donations to worthwhile charities and in 2022 the Foundation made donations to a cancer hospice as well as a donation to a children’s charity focussing on respite care
