Givengain UK Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Givengain UK Foundation's grants go to UK-registered charities, with emphasis on UK-based NGOs, community organisations and social causes, so a small UK charity working in those areas may fit.
- The foundation has no publicly published application process.
- Its grants arise from donors recommending a listed charity through the GivenGain platform, and the trustees' policy is to honour those recommendations, so the realistic route in is to check whether a donor is likely to recommend you.
- Before anything else, confirm you are registered with a UK charity regulator, hold a bank account in your own name, have passed the foundation's onboarding checks, and are free of regulatory action or sanctions, since charities that fail any of these are excluded.
- The annual report gives no grant range, so do not assume a particular amount.

Priority Areas
The foundation makes grants to UK-registered charities, with particular emphasis on UK-based NGOs, community organisations and social causes. It exists to support and promote charitable giving and philanthropy through the GivenGain platform and allied initiatives, facilitating donations, fundraising, capacity building and granting. Grant funds arise from donations made through the platform: donors recommend a listed charity, and the trustees' policy is to honour those recommendations, subject to eligibility, payment being possible, due diligence and consistency with its objects. Eligible recipients must be registered with a UK charity regulator, pass onboarding checks, be free of regulatory action or sanctions, and hold a bank account in their own name. Grants are paid weekly without project-specific conditions; the foundation relies on beneficiaries' regulatory and audit obligations while retaining the right to request information about use and recover grants made in error.
