Tribal Survival
Our founder, Charles Montanaro, established Tribal Survival – a UK-registered charity which aims to promote the wellbeing of indigenous people across the world.
Charles is an anthropologist by training and has visited remote tribes across the world for decades. With his wife, Jane, he established Tribal Survival in 2014 to provide aid to endangered tribes, particularly the Korowai Tribe in West Papua.
Ever increasing resource pressures are placing stress on the lives of those fighting to retain their ancestral lands, customs and traditions. With support from the World Health Organisation, Tribal Survival has sponsored a number of trips to distribute medication to remote tribes.

City Harvest London
In partnership with The Giving Department we are seeking to identify charities where we can make a meaningful difference, via donations and the volunteering of our staff. As a result, we are delighted to provide support to City Harvest London.
City Harvest provides a simple solution: the charity collects high quality surplus food from the UK’s leading retailers, wholesalers, restaurants and manufacturers to distribute to more than 350 community programmes that serve meals to vulnerable people in London. Since its founding in 2014, City Harvest has delivered more than 50 million meals and saved over 78,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases by preventing wood from being wasted.

Matched giving scheme
We support the Montanaro team with their own charitable endeavours by matching the donations they raise.
Montanaro is acutely aware of the human suffering that is occurring as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In response to this, our team has collectively made a significant contribution to the ‘Disaster Emergency Committee – Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal’. This contribution has been matched by Montanaro, providing a significant donation to help people affected by the escalating conflict. More information about the appeal can be found here.
