Haskel Family Foundation
About This Funder
The Haskel Family Foundation, established in 1994 by Lord Simon Haskel and Susan Haskel in England and Wales (charity number 1039969), is a family-governed grantmaker led by its founding trustees. Its mission emphasizes responsible stewardship of generated income to support a broad spectrum of general charitable purposes, including education and training, arts, culture, heritage and science, aid for people of specific ethnic or racial origins, and assistance to the wider public and voluntary organizations. With no paid staff and a volunteer-driven ethos, the foundation prioritizes sound financial controls, risk management, and responsive philanthropy, funding innovative initiatives like dementia research and community support at institutions such as the University of Salford’s Salford Institute for Dementia.
It supports diverse projects, research, unrestricted grants, core costs, and capacity-building across national and local charities in England and Wales, targeting established organizations with proven track records that align with trustees’ values, including academic institutions and those benefiting ethnic communities or the general public.
Eligible entities are strictly UK-registered charities and academic institutions operating in the UK, with a preference for medium to large organizations demonstrating mission alignment; there are no formal income thresholds or religious restrictions. The foundation does not accept unsolicited applications—funding decisions are made internally by trustees at ad hoc meetings, with no public deadlines or application process.
Typical grants range from £5,000 to £50,000 annually per organization. Distinctive for its flexible, generalist approach unbound by themes, it stands out as a discreet, trustee-discretion funder ideal for pre-selected partners seeking responsive support without bureaucratic hurdles, emphasizing transparency and family-led impact over rigid strategies.
