Analysis

The KPMG Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales, based in London. It was registered in May 2021, 5 years ago. Its declared purposes cover general charitable purposes, which this site groups under grant-making and general purposes. Legally it is a charitable company (Companies House number 13083579). It says it makes grants to organisations.

In the financial year ending September 2025, The KPMG Foundation reported income of £1.1m and spending of £1.9m, spending 177% of what it took in. The sharpest change came in the year to September 2023, when income dropped by 82%. Over the whole period it spent 58% of the income it received.

Among 5,976 England and Wales charities whose main cause is grant-making and general purposes and that reported income, The KPMG Foundation sits at the 95th percentile: it is larger than about 95% of them. Against every charity in England and Wales with reported income it ranks in the 94th percentile. Charities of a similar size with the same main cause include The Amb Charitable Trust (£1.1m), The Jacobs Charitable Trust (£1.1m) and The Aisling Project (£1.1m).

In its latest detailed accounts, income came from donations and legacies 85% and investments 15%. Charitable activities took 96% of spending and raising funds 1.6%. Grants to other organisations totalled £1.6m. Reserves of £4.4m would cover about 27 months of spending at that rate.

Data notes from the register: Spending has exceeded income in each of the last three reported years, so the charity has been drawing on reserves or other funds.
