AlixPartners (UK) Charitable Foundation

The AlixPartners (UK) Charitable Foundation, established in 2010 by the global consulting firm AlixPartners (charity number 1134913), is a grant-making charity dedicated to supporting a broad spectrum of charitable purposes at trustees' absolute discretion. Guided by the firm's ethos of integrity, inclusion, and community impact, it prioritises causes aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals—focusing on equity of opportunity, economic prosperity, well-being, and environmental challenges—while emphasising locally resonant projects lacking government support and those involving staff volunteering or pro bono engagement.

It funds general charitable activities, including advancement of health and saving lives (e.g., hospitals for critically ill children), disability support (e.g., mobility equipment), arts, culture, heritage, science, economic/community development, and other purposes. Beneficiaries span the general public, disabled people, children/young people, and voluntary bodies, with flexible grants for projects, core costs, capacity building, capital, and occasionally individuals, targeting tangible community differences across small grassroots groups and established charities.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities (no income thresholds), with a preference for those in England, Wales, or Scotland benefiting AlixPartners' operational communities; unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants arise from trustee-selected recommendations tied to staff involvement. Typical awards range £5,000–£50,000 (most £5,000–£25,000), with annual spend ~£60,000–£70,000 decided at internal trustee meetings (annually, often March–June), no fixed deadlines or public process.

Distinctively discretionary and generalist, it avoids prescriptive themes or government-backed causes, differentiating through corporate integration—leveraging firm expertise, employee giving, and networks—for responsive, needs-based support yielding measurable local impact and social equity.
