Good Deed Foundation

The Good Deed Foundation, a grant-making trust registered in England and Wales since 1994, is governed by three unremunerated trustees who exercise full discretion to advance religion, education, poverty relief, and healthcare for public benefit. With a lean structure—no paid staff, fundraising, or trading—it embodies a pure philanthropic ethos, prioritizing evidence-based positive change across diverse charitable activities without published strategic plans or thematic restrictions.

It supports a broad spectrum of generalist initiatives, including educational programs, poverty alleviation projects, religious organizations, and health interventions, benefiting children and youth, elderly people, those with disabilities, ethnic or racial groups, other charities, voluntary bodies, and the general public. Grants fund project costs, core funding, and occasionally capital needs for registered charities and, rarely, individuals, reflecting flexible trustee-led selections aligned with core charitable purposes.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities based in England or Wales, with a historical preference for small to medium-sized organizations but no formal income thresholds. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees identify and select recipients at their discretion, with no public guidelines, online forms, or rolling rounds.

Typical grants range from £1,000 to £10,000, awarded adhoc via unscheduled trustee meetings without fixed deadlines. Distinctively, it avoids statutory bodies, political activities, or non-charitable pursuits, differentiating itself through trustee autonomy, broad thematic flexibility, and a commitment to varied social good in a compact administrative model.
