Eventhall Family Charitable Trust

The Eventhall Family Charitable Trust is a UK-based grant-making charity established in 1990 by David Howard Eventhall and family members, with current trustees including David, Julia Louise, and Emily Rose Eventhall. Rooted in family philanthropy, it advances general charitable purposes, health and life-saving initiatives, poverty prevention and relief, and religious activities, reflecting a commitment to positive impact in both Jewish and non-Jewish communities. Its distinctive low-profile approach emphasises discretionary giving through trustee networks, prioritising vulnerable groups like children, young people, the elderly, and grassroots organisations via robust governance and sustainable stewardship, with ties to entities like Manchester's The Fed Jewish social care charity.

The Trust funds a broad spectrum of causes, including health and social care projects, poverty alleviation, intergenerational programmes, religious endeavours, and support for voluntary bodies—covering project funding, core costs, and individual grants that deliver local impact.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups, with a preference for small to medium-sized, resource-limited entities in North West England (Cheshire East, Cheshire West & Chester, Lancashire), though UK-wide support extends to aligned Jewish and non-Jewish communities; no strict income thresholds apply, but geographic and network connections are key.

Grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000, often smaller for local needs. It does not accept unsolicited applications, relying instead on internal trustee decisions at ad hoc meetings with no published deadlines or formal process—distinguishing it as a family-directed, invitation-only funder focused exclusively on high-impact, trustee-vetted causes without fundraising or publicity.
