The Morgan Charitable Foundation, established in 1981 and formerly the Erich Markus Charitable Foundation, is a low-profile grant-making trust overseen by a small board of five trustees. Its core mission advances general charitable purposes, including health, disability support, overseas aid and famine relief, and accommodation or housing. The Foundation has a traditional ethos of flexibly supporting a wide spectrum of public good initiatives through grants to established charities, prioritising responsive, trustee-led funding without a narrow strategic focus.
What Morgan Charitable Foundation funds
The Foundation funds diverse causes benefiting children and young people, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and voluntary organisations. It supports core costs and specific projects in health, disability, housing, and international aid. Grants typically support UK-registered charities with England-based operations, occasionally extending to overseas work. The Foundation has no restrictions to single beneficiary groups and covers a wide range of charitable activities.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, primarily established medium-to-large organisations in England with strong compliance and track records. Small or grassroots groups are rarely supported. There are no formal income thresholds but a preference for substantial operations. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; trustees proactively identify and invite beneficiaries based on alignment. No religious restrictions apply.
What Morgan Charitable Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not support small or grassroots groups and does not accept unsolicited applications. It avoids project leadership, serving instead as a selective enabler of core, compliant charitable work. Direct delivery or advocacy is not funded.
