The Latif Foundation

Registered charity 1088421 · since 2001latiffoundation.org.uk·International·Updated 29 October 2026

Key takeaways

The Latif Foundation's stated themes are poverty relief, humanitarian aid and social services, and its remit covers any part of the world, so work in those areas anywhere may fit.
Neither the annual report, its register entry nor its website gives a grant range or an annual giving figure, so a realistic request size cannot be worked out from published information, and a small organisation should ask for an amount it can justify against its own costs.
No public application process was found, and the trustees make donations at their discretion, so a short written enquiry that sets out the need and the costs is a sensible first step, and no timing is published to plan around.
No exclusions or eligibility limits are stated, so no kind of organisation is ruled out, but work outside poverty relief, humanitarian aid and social services falls outside its stated themes.

Priority Areas

The Latif Foundation describes its work as preventing and relieving poverty and providing humanitarian assistance to individuals and communities in need. It provides social support to individuals experiencing poverty or financial hardship, humanitarian aid and famine relief, and grants to individuals in need and to charitable organisations delivering social services. It also provides charitable services and facilities for disadvantaged communities. Its stated remit is any part of the world. The foundation says its activities are carried out exclusively for recognised charitable purposes and for the public benefit, on a not-for-profit and non-political basis. Its giving therefore combines direct support and services with grants to people and charitable organisations.
