The Matthew Good Foundation focuses on amplifying small, high-impact UK charities and grassroots groups, especially those with annual income under £50,000 that are working on community, environmental, and social welfare issues. A distinctive part of its model is that it brokers funding and non-financial support from responsible businesses, combining grants with volunteering, pro-bono expertise, and storytelling support to help smaller organizations grow their reach and sustainability. It also favors charities aligned to specific UN Sustainable Development Goals and often backs work that can benefit from unrestricted funding and capacity-building.
Mix of open quarterly small-grants rounds and invite-only or partner-specific programs. Grants are typically modest ($500-$5,000), often unrestricted, with some longer-term core support awards and employee-nominated giving through corporate partners; selected organizations may also receive film production or volunteer/pro-bono support.

For Grants for Good, apply through the straightforward open application process and note that eligibility is limited to UK small charities, community groups, and CICs with annual income under £50,000. Expect quarterly review cycles rather than a single annual deadline; for other programs, most funding is invite-only or delivered through business partners, so aligning your work to the Foundation’s SDG priorities and demonstrating clear local impact may increase your chances of being selected.
