Starview Charity

Starview Charity, established in 1999 as a UK-registered trust (Charity Commission no. 1078321), focuses on preventing or relieving poverty and advancing religious activities, particularly for communities defined by shared ethnic or racial origins. Governed by three trustees with strong compliance in financial management, risk, and conflicts, it embodies a stable, targeted philanthropic ethos, making grants exclusively across England and Wales to intersect humanitarian need with faith-based community support, rather than direct services.

It funds poverty alleviation for individuals in hardship, alongside project and core costs for small organisations delivering religious engagement or community aid within culturally specific, faith-oriented groups. Priorities centre on grassroots voluntary bodies serving impoverished ethnic or faith communities, with no shifts in mission evident over 25 years; recent accounts show £177k income and £166k expenditure sustaining modest, consistent giving.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or community groups based in England/Wales, with preference for small, resource-limited entities—no formal income thresholds, though large organisations are unlikely fits. Starview does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at trustees' rolling discretion without public processes, forms, or deadlines.

Typical awards range £500–£5,000, targeting individuals and small-scale organisational needs like running costs or hardship relief. Distinctively, it avoids open calls, capital projects, or broad programmes, differentiating through its niche dual focus on poverty-faith-ethnic intersections, trustee-led due diligence, and support for both people and culturally aligned voluntary groups.
