About us

We work with grassroots charities across the country to help them fund projects and initiatives that support communities and transform lives.

Connecting communities to empower grassroots charities to thrive.

Our story

In 2020, Chris and Elaine Goodman began exploring three pressing questions: Is the UK’s funding gap growing? Why is it happening? And does it really matter? Their research into the crisis facing local communities led to a clear answer and a bold response. Believing that lasting change starts at the community level, they founded Focus Foundation.

“Through funding, mentorship, and collaboration, we empower these organisations to grow, innovate, and create meaningful impact where it’s needed most.”
