The Henry C. Hoare Charitable Trust was established in 2001 by Henry Cadogan Hoare and Hoare Trustees, continuing the Hoare family's long philanthropic tradition. Guided by prudent stewardship and social responsibility, it operated as a generalist funder with trustee discretion, flexibly addressing evolving needs without fixed thematic priorities. The trust has since closed and transferred its assets to The Master Charitable Trust. Historically, it funded a broad spectrum of public benefit activities across health, education, social welfare, and community development.

It supported project costs, core costs, and unrestricted grants, offering flexibility to small to medium charities. With national geographic scope and no fixed thematic priorities, it took a generalist approach, responding to diverse needs rather than focusing on specific cause areas. This meant it could adapt to emerging challenges and support work that might not fit neatly into narrower funding categories.
