The Badur Foundation

The Badur Foundation is a UK-based charity (Charity number: 1142413) dedicated to supporting grassroots organisations primarily in four countries: the UK, Hungary, Laos, and Malta. The foundation focuses on two central themes: tackling poverty and inequality, and addressing environmental challenges.

Objectives

The primary aim of the foundation is to improve the future prospects of individuals and communities who are marginalised or disadvantaged by supporting organisations that help overcome social exclusion[3]. It achieves this by funding small and medium-sized organisations that provide sustained, holistic support at the community level[4].

Approach

The foundation employs a relationship-based approach to grant-making, prioritising long-term partnerships with its grantees. This approach involves understanding the complex needs of those served by the organisations it supports. It seeks out small, locally embedded charities and social enterprises that are not already receiving widespread support, particularly those that challenge societal attitudes towards social exclusion and promote the inclusion of marginalised groups[4].

Activities and Geographic Reach

The Badur Foundation supports grassroots charities and social enterprises in specific countries, adapting its support to fit local contexts[1][2]. The foundation's efforts are geared towards community development, education, and sustainability, reflecting its broader goals of addressing poverty, inequality, and environmental challenges[5].

Financial Overview

For the financial year ending June 30, 2023, the foundation reported a total income of approximately £1,551,448, with donations and investments being key contributors to its finances[3]. Its total expenditure was £906,449, primarily allocated to charitable activities[3].

Impact

Throughout its work, the Badur Foundation aims to create a more inclusive and equitable future by fostering partnerships and supporting initiatives that address critical social and environmental issues[3][5].
