alexandermosleyct.orgAbout Alexander Mosley Charitable Trust
The Alexander Mosley Charitable Trust was established in 2011 by Max Mosley in memory of his son Alexander. It is a proactive grant-maker that funds innovative, pioneering projects in areas often overlooked by mainstream funders. Guided by trustee discretion, the Trust’s mission emphasises public benefit through bold, evidence-based interventions, and it takes a risk-tolerant approach to backing pioneering work. The Trust supports national UK charities and academic institutions, with a preference for medium-to-large organisations of national profile. What makes the Trust distinctive is its willingness to fund unconventional, high-stakes initiatives and its aversion to racism and extremism.

The Trust provides project, core, and capital grants to carefully selected beneficiaries. Geographically, it supports national UK charities and academic institutions, primarily in England and Wales.
