The Law Family Charitable Foundation was established by philanthropists Andrew and Zoë Law to formalise their commitment to strategic philanthropy. Rooted in values of responsibility, opportunity, and community benefit, it aims to enable long-term positive change through grants to UK charities. The Foundation is distinctive for its family-led approach, with sustained trustee engagement and a focus on multi-year partnerships. It seeks to act as a catalyst, unlocking additional support from other funders. This strategic, risk-tolerant style sets it apart from reactive grant-making, favouring innovative leaders and scalable solutions.
What Law Family Charitable Foundation funds
The Foundation supports initiatives in social mobility, youth opportunity, education, mental health, and community resilience. It targets under-served young people and disadvantaged communities, funding activities such as educational access and achievement, employability skills, well-being programmes, capacity building, and core costs. The geographic focus is UK-wide, with an emphasis on London and high-need urban zones. The Foundation also supports infrastructure for national or London-focused organisations delivering measurable outcomes. It prioritises evidence-based solutions that address root causes and can be scaled.
