Our History
The Ethical Property Foundation was established in 2004 by our organisation the Ethical Property Company, to promote a shared vision that buildings should be run for the benefit of people and planet.
The Foundation now runs independently and launched its Property Advice Service for non-profits in 2005.
Launched initially in London, the Property Advice Service expanded into Bristol in early 2007 and launched its nation-wide service in 2012.
In February 2015 it became preferred supplier of land and property advice to the Charity Commission. To date the Foundation has supported 5000+ organisations.
