The Alliance Family Foundation was formed by the Alliance family in 1968 as a means to help meet the financial, educational or religious needs of those less fortunate or less able to help themselves in times or circumstances of difficulty. This remains its purpose and the trustees continue to carry this out for the public benefit by utilising the annual income of the charity in making donations they consider fulfil the objectives of the charity.
The Foundation awards grants to a general range of charitable causes, with some preference for:
- The advancement of education.
- The advancement of religion, and
- The relief of poverty.
The trustees’ policy is to review requests for financial support and make donations at their discretion. In some cases, the Foundation will give a formal or informal commitment to make an allocation available from annual income over a number of years.
Please note that the Foundation does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
