Grantmakers
Data is based on their annual returns to the Charity Commission for England and Wales or other regulators. 360Giving has amended the data where necessary by referencing the grantmaker’s published accounts. Figures for grantmakers who are not registered charities have been taken from data they have published about their grantmaking. More information on this is available in our method.
We estimate that over 360 of these grantmakers make grants to individuals. Our table below shows the largest grantmakers that make grants to individuals, based on the amount of money spent.
