The Steve Morgan Foundation is passionately committed to changing lives for good, by working with partners that make a positive difference to those in need.

Founded in 2001 by businessman and philanthropist, Steve Morgan CBE, we provide funding, support, expertise and best practice to the charities and organisations we support. By harnessing the power of working together, we’re proud to have helped hundreds of local charities improve millions of lives across our region.

2026 marks our 25th anniversary and now is the time for meaningful change and a new strategic direction. We are significantly scaling up our philanthropic work by implementing a new, innovative strategy to our funding and grant-making to create lasting solutions for our communities.

We have pledged £100 million over the next five years to 2030 to break the cycle of social disadvantage and ensure everyone has a fair chance at a good life.

This £100 million will be focused on projects that improve education, expand access to provision, and increase employment opportunities.

We will also continue to invest in groundbreaking research into a cure for type 1 diabetes, a cause close to our hearts.

By combining our financial resources with expertise and energy, we will work strategically and consistently to create lasting regional impact with national influence.
