Collaboration
At Focus Foundation, we adopt a proactive, collaborative approach to closing the funding gap for grassroots charities. Our emphasis is on providing direct, meaningful support that empowers these charities to not just survive, but to flourish.
Through our partnerships with grassroots charities, we help enhance their ability to deliver vital services, adapt to evolving needs, and expand their impact in ways that are both sustainable and efficient.
Our going commitment to small charities mean we can help with more than funding, we ensure collaborations happen with local organisations to gain resources and skills that would usually be out of reach for small charities.

We are committed to making our application process straightforward, efficient, and personable. We aim to ensure that every applicant receives the support needed to secure funding, with clear and timely communication throughout. Our process is transparent, and we provide constructive feedback regardless of the outcome, helping you improve for future opportunities.
For donors:
We guarantee that 100% of your donation will be allocated directly to the most impactful projects within the community. We adhere to rigorous due diligence practices when awarding grants, ensuring that the charities we support meet the highest standards of trustworthiness and accountability, aligning with our values.
A message from our Co-founder
“Creating the Focus Foundation was the next natural step after lockdown, having seen a gap in funding and the huge increase in demand from charities requesting help. To be able to give back and help those where even the smallest grant can have the biggest impact, giving people opportunity and hope is an absolute honour. Both Chris and I, love visiting the projects that Focus Foundation have provided grants to, and get to meet the most amazing, passionate people who run these grassroots charities that are so often overlooked. Our 3 pillars are fundamental to our mission. Having seen people close to me struggle with their mental health, I know how important it is to seek help, and this should be available to everyone, no matter what their background.”
