We support and advise philanthropists, helping them to find and fund the UK’s most impactful grassroots charities. Our unique offer to philanthropists includes:
Expert guidance for high-impact giving
Our deep understanding of grassroots charities means that we provide expert advice to philanthropists seeking hyper-local, high-impact giving and a quality-assured charity portfolio. Through the CSJ Foundation, even a modest philanthropic investment can have a transformational impact on the lives of the most disadvantaged people in society.
Deep grassroots knowledge and relationships
Our six regional offices are embedded in communities year-round, building relationships with local charities and social enterprises. Our structure allows us to see and hear what others miss and can identify the charities that are having the biggest impact to ensure donors make informed decisions about their giving and invest in what works.
A national policy platform
We are the only Foundation in the UK with a partner think-tank (Centre for Social Justice) giving small charities the opportunity to shape national policy and stay informed on a range of policy issues.
If you are a philanthropist and would like help finding and funding grassroots charities, please get in touch.
