Welcome to the Santander Foundation

The Santander Foundation funds local, regional and national charities for their work within the UK. We are committed to helping disadvantaged people through our two charitable priorities.

The Foundation brings together the initiatives previously undertaken by Abbey, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley savings business. Formerly the Abbey Charitable Trust, the Foundation was set up in 1990 and has given more than £28 million to charities in the UK.

2010 is an exciting year for the Foundation with some changes to charitable priorities and to the type of grants available as well as a significant increase in the size of grants on offer.

We have just updated the Spotlight section of the site where you can read an interview with the Foundation Manager, Alan Eagle.
