New Capital Link Foundation

What is New Capital Link Foundation?

New Capital Link Foundation is an independent charitable entity that operates with the same rigorous, investment-grade methodology we apply to our financial services. We proactively identify and support charitable organizations that demonstrate exceptional potential for impact, sustainability, and growth. Our approach goes beyond traditional grant-making to create genuine partnerships with charities through financial support, professional expertise, and dedicated volunteer engagement.

How do you select charities to support?

Our selection process mirrors our investment due diligence methodology. We conduct comprehensive research, stakeholder interviews, financial analysis, and impact measurement. We evaluate organizations based on four key criteria: impact assessment (measurable outcomes and theory of change), resource efficiency (transparent financial management and low overhead), crisis response capability (emergency preparedness and rapid deployment), and skills-based collaboration potential (openness to capacity building and strategic support). This thorough evaluation ensures our support reaches organizations capable of making the most significant difference in their field.

What areas do you focus on?

While we maintain flexibility in our charitable support, we have developed particular expertise in four key areas: Crisis Response & Emergency Relief (supporting rapid disaster response organizations), Homelessness & Housing Security (comprehensive services beyond emergency accommodation), Community Economic Development (microfinance, small business development, and economic resilience initiatives), and Education & Skills Development (vocational training and capability building for disadvantaged communities). These focus areas reflect both critical societal needs and our team's professional capabilities.

What types of support do you provide?

We provide comprehensive, multi-faceted support through three primary channels: Strategic Financial Resources (flexible funding tailored to organizational needs, including core funding, project grants, and capacity-building investments), Professional Expertise & Mentorship (sharing knowledge in investment strategy, financial management, business development, and governance), and Dedicated Volunteer Engagement (hands-on involvement including strategic planning, project management, skills training, and operational assistance). This holistic approach addresses both immediate needs and long-term organizational development.

How long do your partnerships typically last?

We believe in building long-term, collaborative relationships rather than traditional donor-recipient arrangements. Our partnerships are designed to be ongoing, with consistent, reliable support that enables charities to focus on their core mission without funding uncertainties. Partnership duration varies based on organizational needs and mutual objectives, but we typically commit to multi-year relationships built on shared accountability, transparent communication, and measurable impact goals. We work closely with each organization to understand their unique context and tailor our support accordingly.

What do you expect from charity partners?

We expect our charity partners to maintain high standards of governance, financial management, and impact reporting. This includes transparent communication about challenges and successes, regular reporting on outcomes and impact metrics, openness to capacity building and strategic planning support, and commitment to continuous improvement. We seek organizations with strong leadership teams who welcome collaborative approaches to problem-solving and are dedicated to achieving measurable, sustainable change in their communities.

Can I suggest a charity or apply for funding?

New Capital Link Foundation operates as an independent charitable entity and does not accept monetary donations or charity suggestions from the public. We independently identify, research, and select charitable causes that align with our mission and investment-grade evaluation criteria. Our funding comes from New Capital Link's own resources, ensuring complete independence in our charitable decision-making process. This approach allows us to maintain objectivity and focus on organizations that best meet our rigorous selection standards.

How is the Foundation funded?

The Foundation is entirely funded through New Capital Link's own resources, ensuring complete independence in our charitable decision-making process. We do not accept external donations or funding, which allows us to maintain our rigorous, investment-grade selection methodology without external influence. This self-funding model enables us to focus solely on identifying and supporting the most impactful charitable organizations based on our comprehensive evaluation criteria.

Who leads the Foundation?

New Capital Link Foundation is led by Rachel Buscall as part of New Capital Link. The Foundation benefits from the extensive professional expertise of our team in investment strategy, financial management, business development, and organizational governance. This leadership brings the same rigorous analytical approach to charitable giving that has made New Capital Link successful in the financial sector, ensuring our charitable partnerships are strategic, measured, and results-driven.

How can I learn more about your supported charities?

While we maintain confidentiality around our specific charitable partnerships to respect our partners' privacy and operational security, we are committed to transparency about our selection methodology and support approach. Information about our charitable focus areas, selection criteria, and partnership philosophy is available through our public communications. We believe in the importance of accountability and may share aggregated impact data and success stories where appropriate, always with full consent from our charity partners.
