Philanthropy at The Felix Project

At Felix, we build a unique relationship with our philanthropists, bringing them closer to the impact of their gifts, to our beneficiary partners, and to the organisation itself through regular reporting and exclusive invitations. 

Our philanthropists are a diverse group: parents and grandparents, entrepreneurs and those working in established businesses, those who have never given to charity before, and families for whom giving to charity is something that brings them together. What they have in common is a desire to deliver a basic human right – enough good, nutritious food – to those in need. 

About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is London’s largest food redistribution charity. We rescue high quality surplus food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. It is then distributed to over 1,200 community organisations and schools across London that are helping to feed people experiencing hunger.

Last year, we gave out the equivalent of 38 million meals across London. 50% of our rescued food is delivered to community organisations within the top 5 most deprived neighbourhoods in the capital.

At Epic, we support organisations that combine operational excellence with bold, systemic impact. With a strong team, efficient logistics, and clear ambition to grow sustainably, The Felix Project is rethinking food rescue at scale, and we’re proud to welcome them as a grantee partner!

The Epic Foundation

Supporting The Felix Project aligns two things that I’m passionate about – a love for food and the value I place on helping others. The relationship we have with The Felix Project is built on trust underpinned by the passion they have in delivering on their mission and the transparency in their impact measurement and reporting.

Felix philanthropist

We are always enormously impressed by the sheer dedication to and belief in the cause that everyone working at The Felix Project has. It is run to the standards of a commercial organisation, which gives us confidence that our gifts are being well managed and used to deliver the best outcomes.
