AKO Foundation is a UK charitable foundation that makes grants to charities and charitable projects within three priority areas: improving education and the wellbeing of young people, promoting the arts, and combating climate change. It also helps start up new charitable projects and can offer unrestricted, multi-year support to its beneficiaries. The Foundation operates proactively, seeking out causes rather than accepting unsolicited applications, and aims for lean administration so that most resources go directly to beneficiaries. It is linked to AKO Capital, whose long-term investment approach the Foundation says it mirrors, though it operates as a separate charitable entity rather than an investment business itself.
