The Black Heart Foundation
The Black Heart foundation was created in 2013, along with its scholarship programme. They aim to provide gap funding that supports young people who would otherwise not be able to achieve their ambitions or potential through Further or Higher Education. From 2013 to 2020, the Foundation provided Scholarships to 100 young people, 85% of whom are BAME, and who studied at 57 academic institutions in the UK. The Foundation is a registered charitable enterprise in both the United Kingdom and the United States. It was initially founded on private funds, but continues to receive support in the form of funding from individuals and families as well as donations and contributions from corporate supporters who make both financial contributions and contributions consisting of products, services and personnel. 100% of all donations made to the Foundation are passed along to beneficiaries via awards and bursaries with no discount or fee for administration and overhead. The foundation does not take a cut of the money it receives in donations.
