C and H Association Limited

C and H Association Limited is a grant-making charitable company established in 1983 (charity number 287082), governed by trustees from the Berger family, including Chaskel, Moishe, and Helen Berger. Its core mission focuses on the prevention and relief of poverty, alongside advancing general charitable purposes under English law, primarily through grants to UK organisations rather than individuals. With a traditional, family-led approach, it emphasises flexible support for established charities, showing a particular but not exclusive interest in aiding people of specific ethnic or racial origins, while maintaining a broad generalist mandate across poverty alleviation and wider charitable activities in England, Wales, and occasionally abroad.

The funder supports a range of charitable initiatives aligned with its objects, including poverty relief, ethnic minority community needs, and general voluntary sector work, funding both project-specific efforts and core costs without narrow thematic restrictions. Eligible entities are exclusively UK-registered charities based in the UK, with a preference for medium to large established organisations over grassroots groups; there are no formal income thresholds, geographic sub-restrictions within the UK, or religious limitations.

Grants typically range from £5,000 to £25,000, occasionally higher for larger recipients, awarded via an invite-only process with no unsolicited applications, public forms, or open calls. Decisions occur at trustee meetings, usually annually, with no fixed deadlines or published guidance. Distinctively under-the-radar with no trading arms, property holdings, or outcome frameworks, it avoids funding individuals, direct services, or uninvited applicants, differentiating itself as a discreet, responsive private family funder prioritising trustee-selected UK charities for enduring philanthropic impact.
