About us
EQ Foundation is an innovative and award winning registered charity connected to EQ Investors that has donated over £6,000,000 since 2015 to carefully selected charities and social enterprises.
As a grant maker we favour smaller, dynamic, ambitious organisations that can demonstrate their impact. Full details of our grants can be found on GivingisGreat.org here. Please note that we are not currently accepting unsolicited applications for funding as we are concentrating on our existing relationships.
We have also developed two initiatives to help other donors discover the most effective charities:
GivingisGreat.org is a website that analyses every UK reistered charity. It helps to identify issues that need investigation and highlights charities that have attracted support from top grantmakers. Try it now.
GiveMore is a donation platform that allows people to donate to charities that we have analysed and found to be highly effective. Subscribers benefit from monthly updates on key developments from the charities and are shielded from requests to donate more. Further details here
