This is our soil.

Every year, billions of pounds move through the tax system that could, with the right guidance, be turned into long-term support for the communities and causes that need it most.


Terraverde exists to make that happen.

We bring together tax guidance, thoughtful investment and on-the-ground impact so that every pound unlocked today can keep working for people, place and planet tomorrow.

What does Terraverde do?

We unlock giving that’s hiding in plain sight
Most people, businesses and estates want to do more good, but the system is complex and fragmented. We work alongside professional advisers and decision-makers to identify the tax-efficient routes to give, and to structure those decisions in a way that feels simple, safe and aligned with their values.

We turn those decisions into real-world change
Money only matters when it reaches the front line. Terraverde directs funding into carefully selected charities and social projects across the UK – from neighbourhood initiatives to larger organisations driving systemic change. We prioritise work that strengthens communities, improves long-term outcomes and builds resilience.

We steward resources for the long term
Short-term grants aren’t enough on their own. Where appropriate, we help build and manage lasting funds and reserves, so that today’s choices can keep supporting tomorrow’s challenges. Good governance, prudent investment and transparent reporting sit at the heart of how we work.

Who we work with


Terraverde is built to serve the whole ecosystem around giving:


  • Individuals, families and business owners who want their tax and wealth to do more good.

  • Charities and social enterprises looking for sustainable, values-aligned funding and smarter use of their reserves.

  • Professional advisers, firms and employers who want to offer clients and staff a practical way to turn tax into impact without adding complexity or risk.

Why we exist

Inequality, poor health, insecure housing, climate risk and fragile local services are not abstract problems. They show up in real places, in real lives. At the same time, there is no shortage of care, initiative or expertise in our communities – only a shortage of stable, well-directed funding.

Terraverde was created in honour of John Hill, whose belief was simple: if you look closely at how money moves, you can change where it lands. He asked for a way to turn his own resources into lasting benefit for others.

Terraverde is the answer to that promise

and an invitation for others to do the same.


This is our soil: the financial and social ground from which better futures can grow, if we tend it together.
