Auntie’s House CIC
A home for black + PoC-led grassroots Projects
our vision
Black and PoC-led grassroots projects are thriving, having secured a sustainable foundation on which to build. With less time needed to concern themselves with the weighty admin and legalities of running projects, and the anxiety that comes with it, community leaders have the capacity to focus on ‘doing the work’, and as a result, social change is happening at a more efficient and sustainable pace.
our mission
To reimagine financial infrastructure so that grassroots groups and underrepresented communities can build, sustain, and lead powerful movements on their own terms.
our values
Trust & Integrity: As a fiscal host, supporting groups with receiving and managing funding, we need to be trustworthy and portray integrity in all that we do
Dependability: Folks trust us as a vehicle for receiving their funds and distributing them correctly. They can rely on us.
Championing Others: We do this work because we deeply believe in the work others are doing and want to provide the infrastructure that enables them to thrive.
Joy: This work can be tough and emotional at times - we remember to bring in joy where we can, to keep it light
Relationship-First: We work in a relational way - prioritising connection, understanding and trust.

What is fiscal hosting?
What is fiscal hosting?
Fiscal hosting means your project can operate under our organisation, without needing to set up your own CIC or charity straight away.
We hold:
your funds
your governance framework
your compliance responsibilities
So you can focus on:
your work
your community
your impact
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need perfect language or polished plans.
If the work matters, we can start there.
How does it work?
join an open house event
We run these once a season where we explain more about what it’s like to be hosted and if Auntie’s House is the home for you.
Onboarding
If it seems a mutual fit, we’ll start the onboarding process and get you all set-up - this costs a £50 one off fee
You begin!
We’re your official fiscal host!
