Welcome â€‹

​

We are a grantmaking family foundation based in the UK, established in 1971 by Ian & Angela Marks. When they sold their family business, Trebor, to Cadbury Schweppes in 1989, Ian & Angela created an endowment which funds our grantmaking today.

​

​We are a proactive funder, and we recognise that there are different ways to achieve social and environmental change. We seek to balance our funding between charitable organisations aiming for wider impact and those offering direct support.

​

In 2023/24, we distributed over £700,000 in grants to a range of pioneering charities & voluntary organisations. You can find out more about who we partner with by clicking here.

​

Our grant making is supported by our investment portfolio, the management of which is focused on sustainability as well as impact on people & the planet, in line with our overall mission.

​

AIM previously had a dedicated nutritional funding programme, which was funded by profits from Cytoplan,  a nutritional business that it owned from 2006 to 2023. In July 2023 the Nutritional Wellbeing Foundation (NWF) was established as a separate grantmaking foundation and AIM gifted its Cytoplan shares to the NWF. The NWF is now continuing AIM’s ambition to improve people’s health & wellbeing through nutrition.
