Anthony & Pat Charitable Foundation

The Anthony & Pat Charitable Foundation (charity no. 1133288) is a family-led grant-making trust established by Anthony and Pat Mascolo, with trustees including family members Alexandra, Georgina, and Rex Newman. Operating as a steward of philanthropic values, it seeks to drive positive change across London by supporting charities that enhance quality of life for vulnerable groups, guided by robust governance policies on safeguarding, risk, and transparency—no trustee remuneration or trading activities occur.

It funds a broad array of causes, including education and training, advancing health or saving lives, disability inclusion, arts/culture/heritage/science, and animal welfare. Priority beneficiaries are children and young people, elderly individuals, and defined communities facing disadvantage, with support for projects, core costs, capital works, and even non-financial aid like facilities, human resources, or services to boost opportunities and wellbeing.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities operating within London; small to medium-sized organizations with modest incomes are preferred, though no formal thresholds apply. It does not accept unsolicited applications—trustees identify and select recipients at their discretion.

Typical grants range from £5,000 to £40,000, often £10,000–£25,000, awarded adhoc via periodic trustee meetings (at least annually) with no fixed deadlines. Distinctively, its London-exclusive focus, family stewardship, flexible grant types, and rejection of narrow themes set it apart as a discreet supporter of diverse, community-aligned initiatives, excluding only non-London work and unsolicited requests.
