FY2022: 2 grants totalling £92.4m are listed but excluded from totals: unverified read (amount is larger than the funder’s total spending for the year — probably a units error).

Cross-checked against the funder’s own 360Giving open-data publication: 0 of 18 grants we extracted from its FY2025 accounts match a published grantee by name (0%), and 0 also match on amount within 2%. Differences usually reflect accounting-year vs award-date timing and grants the accounts aggregate. Published 360Giving grants in the file: 250.

Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

How to apply: UKCF works with local community foundations to distribute grants. Users are directed to 'Find a local foundation' by entering their postcode on a map to locate the specific foundation serving their area, rather than applying directly to the national body.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (listed sum 24734000 vs reference 8992000 (175.1% diff; ref=stated)). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
