About the funder
The Randal Charitable Foundation is a UK grant-making charity founded by Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL and Moni Kotecha with an ambitious vision to save and significantly improve the lives of 1 million people in the UK and globally. It partners with organisations delivering high-impact, life-changing work and invests in evidence-led interventions that make a measurable difference.
Priority themes they want to fund
The Foundation supports projects addressing key issues including alleviating poverty, healthcare for vulnerable people, tackling mental ill-health, education for disadvantaged groups, support for women and children at risk of violence or exploitation, and prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration. Projects must deliver direct and measurable impact — especially where lives are saved or significantly improved as a result of the work.
Eligibility
Grants are open to UK based registered charities and not-for-profit organisations, including CICs whose work aligns with the Foundation’s mission and demonstrates evidence of impact. Organisations typically need a strong track record and clear evidence of how outcomes will be measured.
Grant amounts & use
The Foundation provides a range of funding levels, with grants commonly between £5,000 and £30,000 for UK-focused projects that can be delivered within 12 months. Funding can support project delivery, innovative interventions and initiatives with clear, direct outcomes.
Application process & deadlines
There are no fixed deadlines; organisations are invited to submit enquiries or expressions of interest via the Foundation’s online portal. Projects should be clearly linked to one or more of the priority areas and show how lives will be saved or significantly improved.
Any specific tips to apply
Strong applications demonstrate measurable impact and evidence-led planning, with clear indicators of how the project will improve lives. Projects that combine frontline service delivery with strong outcomes data and sustainable practice are typically most competitive.
