Artemis Charitable Foundation

The Artemis Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Artemis Fund Managers, channels a portion of the firm's revenues into charitable giving, focusing on health, education, poverty alleviation, and environmental initiatives. Established to make tangible impacts through innovative, scalable solutions that empower communities and address basic human needs, it emphasizes partnership, effectiveness, and responsiveness—shaped by decisions from staff and trustees who select core charities, support long-term partnerships, and respond to global emergencies. With core values of innovation, impact, and flexibility, the Foundation prioritizes projects benefiting children, disadvantaged communities, people in poverty, those affected by crises, and environmental efforts, funding activities like core costs, capital projects, unrestricted support, and disaster relief, often favoring work that can be replicated across UK and international contexts.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, particularly smaller to medium-sized organizations with annual incomes under £2 million (ideally £100,000–£1 million) and at least three years of operational history demonstrating established impact. While geographically based in the UK, they support projects anywhere, with no religious restrictions and a preference for charities led by or serving disadvantaged groups.

Grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000, with multi-year or higher awards possible for repeat partners; in 2023, over £890,000 was distributed to 130 charities. Unsolicited applications are welcomed via email (cover letter, brief proposal, and latest financial summaries), reviewed on a rolling basis at monthly trustee meetings, with decisions usually within weeks—check the website for any pauses or guidance. Distinctively, it offers unrestricted funding, quick emergency responses, and a pragmatic, participatory approach integrating financial expertise with grassroots input, setting it apart for scalable innovations in core themes.
