The Peter Sowerby Foundation funds innovative, high-impact projects across health, education, community, environment and conservation, and the arts, with a particular interest in work that is creative, practical, and demonstrably transformative. Its largest and most structured grants appear to sit in healthcare innovation and social care transformation, while smaller Good Causes grants support charities and community organisations doing distinctive work, especially in the UK and with occasional emphasis on North Yorkshire. The grantees suggest a preference for projects that blend public benefit with innovation, such as health research, creative health interventions, environmental tools, and education initiatives.
Primarily invite-only. The Good Causes Fund makes small to large grants across its theme areas on an ongoing basis, while the Health Breakthrough Fund uses intermittent open calls for expressions of interest and tends to award larger multi-hundred-thousand-pound grants for health innovation and transformation.

Do not rely on unsolicited proposals unless invited. Watch for periodic open calls from the Health Breakthrough Fund, and tailor proposals to show clear innovation, measurable impact, and relevance to the Foundation’s thematic priorities; North Yorkshire connections may strengthen a case, especially for the Good Causes Fund.
