The Hollick Family Foundation is an endowed charitable trust established in 1997 by Lord Clive Hollick in London. It is family-led by trustees including Lord Hollick and Lady Sue Woodford-Hollick. The Foundation aims to catalyse systemic social change by addressing disadvantage and inequality through equity, dignity, and opportunity. It takes an active, relationship-driven approach, prioritising early-stage, community-led organisations that are often overlooked by mainstream funders, focusing on transformative impact for marginalised groups.
What Hollick Family Foundation funds
The Foundation supports projects in education and skills for disadvantaged youth, mental health (especially for youth and women), women's rights and empowerment, children's welfare, housing and homelessness, human rights, and inclusive arts. Interventions emphasise prevention, innovation, addressing root causes of exclusion, and creative participation. Funding is restricted to activities in Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, East Sussex, and Kent, or national organisations working in those areas.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and community groups, particularly small to medium-sized organisations that are early-stage or scaling. The Foundation prioritises grassroots operations working with at-risk young people, women and girls facing adversity, homeless individuals, ethnic minorities, migrants, and those with mental health needs. There is no strict income limit, but a preference for community-led entities. Funding is restricted to the specified local areas.
What Hollick Family Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not fund work outside its specified local areas of Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, East Sussex, and Kent, or activities that do not align with its focus on addressing disadvantage and inequality through equity, dignity, and opportunity.
How they like to fund
The Foundation offers flexible grants including unrestricted core costs, project, revenue, capital, and seed funding. It maintains a dual portfolio of small grassroots grants and larger strategic awards, and welcomes unsolicited applications. Distinctive for its personal family involvement, the Foundation provides bespoke advice and networks to grantees.
