JC Eudaimonia Foundation

The JC Eudaimonia Foundation, established in 2014 as a grant-making charity registered in England and Wales (number 1158814), was founded and is chaired by Jeremy Joseph Coller, with a board of experienced trustees from senior business backgrounds. Operating under robust governance, risk management, and a commitment to public benefit, it pursues wide charitable purposes under UK law, emphasizing welfare, education, and cultural causes to advance community-oriented outcomes. Its distinctive high-trust, selective approach relies on a sole benefactor model for financial flexibility, enabling unrestricted grants and strategic leverage through matched giving partnerships like UBS, fostering deeper impact via established UK partners.

The foundation prioritizes support for welfare initiatives (e.g., organizations like World Jewish Relief), education, and cultural activities that align with its values of community benefit and proven delivery. It funds both project and core costs for medium to large registered charities demonstrating substantial operational capacity, track records, and resonance with trustee priorities, delivering flexible, strategic aid to enhance charitable purposes.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities based and operating in the UK, with a preference for established entities of medium to large size; no strict income thresholds apply, but smaller or unproven groups are unlikely to qualify. Invitations are issued rolling by trustees only—no unsolicited applications or public processes are accepted, with decisions made at their discretion throughout the year. Typical grants range from £25,000 to £200,000 annually (averaging £50,000), as seen in recent £650,000 disbursed to 13 recipients.

Distinctive for its discretion, invitation-only model, and absence of reserves or restrictions, the foundation avoids non-charitable activities, statutory bodies, or individuals, standing out as an engaged, trustee-led funder ideal for high-trust collaborations with aligned, capable UK charities in welfare, education, and culture.
