OUR APPROACH

CHK Foundation undertakes its own research to determine the charities it wishes to consider for funding and will make direct contact to begin discussions about opportunities.  Applications for funding are therefore not invited.

We award grants under three different programmes:

CHK Main Grants
For the 5 years to December 2028, we are using our Main Grant Programme to support UK registered charities working  to protect the environment, or helping young people leaving secondary education to transition successfully into employment

CHK Discretionary Fund
Grants from this fund are made at the discretion of the trustees in line with their philanthropic interests
CHK Emergency /Disaster Fund
Grants from this fund provide financial support for charitable work both nationally and internationally in response to natural disasters and humanitarian crises.

OUR AWARDS

Open data

For awards from 1 January 2020, we publish our grants via 360Giving, an initiative that aims to help UK funders publish their data in an open and standard format online. You can explore our grantmaking, and that of over 100 other funders, using 360Giving’s GrantNav and Insights tools.
