The Lady Downe Charity is an endowed foundation whose benefits are restricted to the residents of the administrative parish of Upton St Leonards in Gloucestershire, as it was in 1966 prior to later boundary changes (parts of what is now Abbeydale, Abbeymead and Cooper's Edge are included).

Eligible individuals can apply for help in the relief of hardship and for the educational development of young people under the age of 25.

The Charity also provides support for the village school and other schools attended by resident children, and to local charitable organisations supplying educational or other benefits to residents.
