Nuturing Futures

A UK FAMILY FOUNDATION DEDICATED TO ENDURING IMPACT

Who are we?

The AIM Foundation is a UK family grantmaking foundation, established in 1971 by Ian and Angela Marks.

​

We support organisations working to create lasting social and environmental change.

​

Following the sale of their family business, Trebor, in 1989, Ian and Angela established an endowment that continues to fund our work today.

 

Over the past five years, we have awarded nearly £5 million in grants, supporting both long-term change and direct work with communities.

​

Our grants are primarily focused on two areas:

  • Early Childhood

  • Restoration and Protection of UK Rivers

​​

It is sustained by a long-term investment portfolio, managed with a commitment to sustainability and positive impact.

Family Gardening Together

​​We are proud to be a signatory to IVAR's Open and Trusting Grant-making commitments.​
