How we help

Kingston Charitable Foundation is an umbrella charity that supports local charities and volunteer organisations within the London Borough of Kingston. Our infrastructure provides economies of scale for funding resources and our ongoing grants enable local charities to concentrate on what they do best – supporting the local community.

We take a management contribution on all funds managed by the Foundation which is re-invested in staff time to run our efficient and effective grant programmes, conduct full due diligence, and provide practical support and advice to local community projects.

Who we have supported

We support a wide range of people throughout the Kingston upon Thames community. Click below to find out more.

Apply for a grant

Our grants application process is simple, created to support local organisations, who help alleviate hardship at the heart of our communities, helping ensure no one goes without.  They are designed to fund projects that charitable organisations run, and the individual services users and families they directly support.
