The Alistair Tinto Foundation
A family foundation supporting a wide range of charitable causes.
In his name
The Foundation is named after Alistair Tinto, a much-loved husband, father and grandfather. He gave his time and help freely to anyone who needed it, always put others before himself, and never looked for thanks or recognition.
We set up this Foundation so that his way of doing things carries on: quietly helping others, giving without expecting anything in return, and letting the good that is done speak for itself.
Our purpose
Supporting the causes that matter most
The Alistair Tinto Foundation is a family charity that gives grants to other charities and organisations doing important work. In Alistair's spirit, our support is broad: we help causes where we believe it can make a real difference to people, families and communities. These include:
-
Health and medical research
Supporting care and research in areas such as dementia and cancer, and the families affected by illness.
-
Mental health and wellbeing
Backing services that help people get the right support, at the right time, no matter what their age.
-
People and communities in need
Helping those facing hardship, ill-health, disability or disadvantage, and the local groups that support them.
-
Education, culture and the environment
Encouraging learning, the arts and heritage, and care for the natural world.
These are examples rather than limits. The Trustees consider each request on its merits and support a variety of charitable causes.
