The Hilden Charitable Fund is a grant-making foundation that provides grants to small charities throughout the UK and in developing countries.

The grants programme aims to address disadvantage, notably by supporting causes which are unlikely to raise funds from public sources, known sometimes as 'unpopular causes.’ The Fund’s policy is directed largely at supporting work at a community level.

Grants for UK charities working in the areas of homelessness, penal affairs, asylum seekers and refugees, community based initiatives for disadvantaged young people (16-25), and projects in developing countries working on community development, education, and health (with particular interest in projects that address the needs and potential of girls and women).
