The Fore

Who we are

The Fore is the only venture philanthropy fund in the UK dedicated to backing the best small charities and social enterprises.

The UK faces immense challenges, but top-down solutions are often slow, ineffective and disconnected from the realities on the ground. There needs to be a change to how we solve our country’s problems. Bold, creative leaders of grassroots charities and social enterprises have the answers and are already making a difference in their local communities but often lack the resources to scale their impact. That’s why The Fore exists. We have developed an industry-leading process to find these extraordinary organisations and provide them with money, skills and support to help them grow and achieve their potential to change society.

The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems: backing social entrepreneurs who have the best solutions to be able to get from grassroots to nationwide impact in five years.
