What UK Toremet Ltd (CC) does

UK Toremet Limited is a UK registered charitable company (charity number 1140972, company number 07278312) that operates a Donor Advised Fund platform enabling individuals, families, giving circles, and corporations to manage philanthropic giving through a structured online account system. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, the organisation runs on a self-service digital platform at online.uktoremet.org.uk where donors can open Charitable Current Accounts, fund Impact Accounts (Give Today for immediate giving, Give Tomorrow for deferred/accumulated giving), and create Shared Accounts for collaborative philanthropy.

The underlying technology combines a secure online donation and grant management portal with payment processing via Stripe and PayPal, an internal Approved List of charities that have passed due diligence checks, automated UK Gift Aid reclamation, and global grant disbursement to UK and overseas charities at competitive exchange rates. The platform supports both individual accounts (Charity Accounts, Impact Accounts, Family Foundations) and corporate use cases (Corporate Charitable Current Accounts, Give As You Earn / GAYE payroll giving, and employee matching schemes). Trustees — including the founder Jonny Cline — maintain discretion over final grant allocation to ensure compliance with English charity law.

UK Toremet's business model is that of a registered charity, not a commercial SaaS business. It charges no fees to account holders and instead retains up to the Gift Aid amount on eligible UK-taxpayer donations and up to 5% on other donations to cover administrative costs, with the remainder passed through as grants. The customer base spans individual donors, corporate and foundation donors, and recipient charities in the UK, US, Israel, and other countries. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed revenue, the entity is a small-scale, mission-driven philanthropy intermediary competing in the UK Donor Advised Fund market alongside larger players such as the National Philanthropic Trust UK, the Charities Aid Foundation, and Prism the Gift Fund.

Donation Retention for Administrative Costs: UK Toremet retains a small proportion of each donation to cover administrative costs: up to the value of Gift Aid reclaimed for eligible UK taxpayer donations, and up to 5% for non-UK taxpayers or non-eligible donations. As a registered charity, the organization uses these funds to operate the platform and make grants to charitable causes.

Core offering

UK Toremet operates a Donor Advised Fund platform that provides charitable giving accounts (Charitable Current Accounts, Impact Accounts, Shared Accounts, Corporate Accounts) for individual and corporate donors. It reclaims Gift Aid on eligible UK taxpayer donations, performs due diligence on recipient charities, and disburses grants to approved UK and overseas charities at the discretion of its trustees.

Product overview

UK Toremet Ltd operates a unified philanthropic giving platform centered on Charity Accounts, offering multiple account types that work together to maximize charitable impact. The core offering consists of a Charitable Current Account that serves as the main hub where donors deposit funds, receive GiftAid, and allocate to other accounts. Additional giving vehicles include Give Today accounts (for immediate, flexible charitable savings) and Give Tomorrow accounts (for accumulating funds toward a future goal or event). Corporate accounts enable businesses to manage GAYE payroll giving, Matching programs, and CSR initiatives. The platform processes donations via payment processors including Stripe and PayPal, and provides grant funding to eligible UK and overseas charities through a Donor Advised Fund structure.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Schwab Charitable: Large US DAF sponsor affiliated with Schwab, providing donor-advised accounts with investment options and grantmaking — significant benchmark for UK Toremet's vision of account-based digital philanthropy at scale.
• Charities Aid Foundation (CAF): The dominant UK giving platform operating charitable accounts, payroll giving (Give As You Earn), and Donor Advised Funds with far larger scale, brand recognition, and corporate reach than UK Toremet — competing directly for the same donor wallet.
• Fidelity Charitable: The largest US DAF sponsor, offering Giving Accounts with investment options, tax-efficient giving, and grant-making — represents the dominant scaled DAF model UK Toremet is attempting to localize.

Direct peers

• Prism the Gift Fund: UK registered charity that operates a Donor Advised Fund model receiving donations and granting to donor-recommended charities, with Gift Aid recovery — directly comparable in product structure and target donor to UK Toremet's Charitable Current Account.
• American Endowment Foundation: US DAF sponsor with low-cost donor-advised funds, Gift Aid-equivalent tax recovery, and global grantmaking capability — direct international peer to UK Toremet for both individual and corporate giving use cases.
• National Philanthropic Trust (NPT): US-registered DAF sponsor that receives charitable contributions, invests them, and grants them out to donor-recommended nonprofits — operates the same donor-advised fund mechanics as UK Toremet but at materially larger AUM scale.
• Myriad Foundation (formerly Kinds Giving / AmeriGift Foundation): US-based DAF sponsor offering customizable donor-advised funds, family foundation support, and global grant distribution — closely comparable to UK Toremet's flexible Impact Accounts and cross-border grant disbursement.

Emerging players

• Give as You Live: UK online giving platform that routes a portion of consumer purchases to selected charities — adjacent digital-giving competitor targeting UK donors and charities but with a different value-exchange mechanic than UK Toremet's DAF model.
