New Capital Link Foundation
Where investment expertise meets social impact
New Capital Link Foundation is the charitable arm of New Capital Link, applying the same analytical rigour behind our investment work to charitable giving. We support causes in homelessness, education and community development — and we don't accept public donations. We welcome recommendations instead.

Who We Are
Investment thinking, applied to giving
New Capital Link Foundation was established to turn New Capital Link's financial expertise into meaningful community impact. Rather than writing occasional cheques, we select a small number of causes, research them closely, and support them with funding, hands-on volunteering and the same professional skills — financial planning, operational improvement, strategic development — that guide our investment work.
“We apply the same analytical rigour to our charitable work that guides our investment decisions.”
- We do not accept donations from the public, ever
- We welcome recommendations for causes we could support
- We provide funding, volunteering and professional expertise
- We focus on a few deep partnerships, not many small ones
Our Focus Areas
Where we choose to make a difference
We deliberately keep our focus narrow, so our support goes deeper.
Homelessness
Supporting organisations that provide accommodation, outreach and pathways off the streets — especially through the winter months when the need is most urgent.
Education & Access
Backing initiatives that give underprivileged children and young people access to the technology and learning tools they need to succeed.
Community Development
Investing time and expertise in projects that build stronger, more resilient local communities for the long term.
