Ten Percent Foundation

What is the Ten Percent Foundation?

The Ten-Percent Foundation was set up in 2002 to distribute the donations Ten-Percent.co.uk Limited gives each year to charities. Ten-Percent.co.uk Limited owns a number of online businesses, including InterimLawyers.co.uk. We donate 10% of net profits each year to the Foundation, which is a registered Charitable Trust in the UK (reg no 1095812). For full details about the charity please click here.

The Ten Percent Campaign

The company also campaigns on two issues concerning charitable giving. The first is to encourage other businesses to donate a percentage of their profits to charity every year, and the second is to highlight and campaign against excessive staff salaries in the charity sector. Full information about the Campaign can be found here.

Our Commitment

It is our business aim to ensure a healthy growth for the company and at the same time spend 10% of our income supporting charitable causes both here and overseas, usually in Africa. We try to find charities with specific projects we can follow up on, and prefer smaller sized charities to the large ones. We are also keen to support any small charities started by solicitors or related to the legal profession.

St Johns Seminary in Tanzania – the new primary school. We are supporting 4 students at the school from 2016-2020.

Further Information

The Ten-Percent Foundation is a charitable trust, registered with the Charities Commission, and operated by two trustees, one of whom is a director of Ten-Percent.co.uk Limited.
As a matter of policy we will not donate to charities where the Chief Executive is paid more than £75,000. We believe that any charities able to afford salary levels higher than this are clearly not in need of charitable donations. We try and continue to support projects once we have started to donate money although our longer term programmes were unfortunately interrupted by the recession in 2008.
