What Conveyancing Foundation does

The Conveyancing Foundation is a UK not-for-profit charitable organisation (registered as a private limited company, Company Registration Number 09031167; Charity Registration Number 1161310) headquartered in Newport, South Wales. Founded in 2015 — and building on the Charity Lotto, which has operated since 2010 — the Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the lives of property industry professionals through a portfolio of wellbeing, best practice, and charity fundraising initiatives. It serves conveyancers, estate agents, legal practices, and other property-sector stakeholders across the United Kingdom.

The Foundation's core products are: the Charity Lotto, a transaction-based mechanism in which clients of participating legal practices voluntarily donate £10 for a chance to win £500 in a monthly prize draw, with proceeds passed to Lotto Members' chosen charities; the Charity Grants Scheme, offering grants of up to £1,000 to property professionals fundraising for registered charities, plus a special £10,000 10th-anniversary pot; the Be Kind We Care mental health and wellbeing initiative, comprising a resource hub, webinars, and partner charities such as Mindstep Foundation and LawCare; Mental Health First Aider Grants of up to £2,000 per workplace; the Mental Health Champion Course; and National Conveyancing Month, an annual free online industry event in March supported by over 600 property professionals. The underlying technology stack is minimal and standard — a WordPress-based website with Stripe payments, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, and embedded YouTube/Vimeo video — with no proprietary software platform or AI capabilities disclosed.

The Foundation's revenue model is partner-driven: corporate sponsorship from a tiered partner ecosystem (7 Gold Partners including Landmark Information Group, CLC, The Negotiator, The Conveyancing Awards, The Society of Licensed Conveyancers, Cashroom, and Checkboard; 9+ Silver Partners), Charity Lotto flow-through (voluntary £10 donations with proceeds passed to charity), and ad hoc donations. Partner funding is reported to fully underwrite the Charity Grant Scheme and Mental Health First Aider Training grants. Distribution is community-led and event-driven, anchored by National Conveyancing Month, official charity partnerships with The Conveyancing Awards and British Conveyancing Awards, and a free partner network spanning technology, legal, and media brands within the UK property sector.
