About The Clive Richards Foundation

The Clive Richards Foundation is a place-based UK funder with a strong preference for catalytic grants that unlock other support, especially for capital projects. Its giving centers on education, healthcare, heritage, and the arts in Herefordshire and nearby areas, while a separate overseas stream supports practical school and community infrastructure in Africa and India. The foundation tends to back recognized institutions and projects with clear, tangible outcomes rather than open-ended operating support.

Giving Approach

Rolling or periodic applications depending on the program; UK grants are generally open year-round, while overseas grants are limited to a short annual window in May. Awards are often catalytic and relatively modest versus the overall project cost, with a general preference for capital or one-off project support rather than salaries or core operating expenses; overseas grants are capped at small amounts per application.
