Freddie Green and Family Charitable Foundation

The Freddie Green and Family Charitable Foundation, established in February 2020 by Josephine Green following the death of her son Toby in 2019, is a UK-registered grant-making charity rooted in the family's legacy from the Henry Streeter Group, a London-based aggregates and property business founded by Freddie Green in the 1950s. Its mission centers on delivering targeted public benefit through proactive philanthropy, shaped by personal bereavement and familial values of meaningful impact, strategic investment, and collaboration. With trustees selected for expertise, the Foundation prioritizes high-leverage support in health, social welfare, and community causes, including medical research (e.g., pancreatic and prostate cancer), hospices, mental health services, homelessness relief, children's care, and emergency medical aid—evidenced by grants to Pancreatic Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Samaritans, Mind, and Gurkha Welfare Trust.

It funds UK-registered charities, favoring medium-to-large organizations with incomes typically above £500,000, established track records, and national or regional reach, particularly in London and the South East but UK-wide. Beneficiaries include children, those with life-limiting illnesses, cancer patients, mental health users, homeless individuals, and families needing medical support. Grant types encompass project funding, core costs, capital projects, research, matched campaigns, and occasional unrestricted support for high-impact initiatives.

Grants range from £50,000 to £300,000, with annual expenditure around £1.65-1.7 million. The process is strictly invite-only—no unsolicited applications, forms, or deadlines—with trustees proactively identifying partners via recommendations and ad hoc meetings. Distinctive for its personal, discerning approach, the Foundation avoids broad dispersion, focusing on collaborative philanthropy where family involvement adds value, excluding small or unproven entities and emphasizing demonstrable, sustained impact over open calls.
