Our mission is to support sustainable approaches to tackle the causes and consequences of poverty, focusing on the communities where Coutts has a presence (the UK, Switzerland, Middle East, Asia and Russia/CIS). The Foundation board, chaired by Rory Tapner, includes a number of Coutts staff and other highly experienced individuals who strongly identify with the Foundation’s mission and approach. In 2014, the Foundation will award grants to a small number of organisations that are delivering sustainable solutions to ensure basic human needs are met (including energy, food, water, housing, access to education or health care). Building the resilience of vulnerable communities so they are better able to tackle current and future challenges is key. This focus builds on the legacy of Angela Burdett-Coutts, a progressive 19th century philanthropist who was concerned with breaking cycles of poverty and the provision of basic human needs. The Foundation adopts a proactive approach to its philanthropy and in its identification of organisations to support. It is especially interested in organisations that are developing innovative solutions and/or those whose successful work has the potential to be scaled-up. At this stage the Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals for support. However, if you wish to bring to the Foundation's attention information about your organisation or programmes that fit with our funding priorities please complete the attached information submission form. The Coutts Foundation will be in touch if it would like to learn more about your organisation. © Copyright Coutts & Co 2021 Sitemap Accessibility Privacy & Cookies Notice Security Important Information & FSCS Home Private Banking Wealth Management Commercial Banking International News & Insights About Coutts Banking Services Accounts & Deposits Cards Mortgages General Insurance Coutts Online Thank You from Coutts Wealth protection Tax advice Trusts Pensions Wills & Inheritance Coutts Institute Family Business Philanthropy Wealth Succession Team Charity Services How can we help Charity Investment Trusts Commercial Banking Our clients Entrepreneurs Executives International Landowners Coutts Private Office Professionals Sports & Entertainment Intermediary Partners Mortgages Contact us Sectors Charities Media Education Healthcare Professional Practices Insurance Commercial real estate Hotels and Leisure Quoted Companies Owner managed businesses Products and services Coutts Online Borrowing Businessline Cards Composite account Current accounts Deposit accounts International Trade Finance Insights Stay informed about Commercial Banking with Coutts Investment services Wealth Management Advice Service Coutts Multi-Asset Funds Coutts Discretionary Investment Management Service Coutts Discretionary Portfolio Service Coutts Tailored Portfolio Management Service Coutts Dealing & Custody Service Alternative Investments Treasury Services Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) Foreign Exchange Services Strategic Solutions Coutts Institute Investment Opportunity Service Real Estate Investment Services Corporate Finance Referral Service Investment Perspective Read our latest articles and reports for analysis on financial markets and the economy Press releases 2014 2013 2012 Social Media Coutts Insights blog Coutts Facebook Coutts Skyline Garden Twitter LinkedIn Media Library A central resource containing videos, podcasts, image galleries and documents which cover a wide variety of wealth management topics.
