About Mosawi Foundation

The Mosawi Foundation was a UK charitable trust established in 2014 by the Mosawi family to act as a catalyst for positive change, partnering with charities and organisations to rebuild, regenerate, and empower communities both nationally and internationally. Its mission centred on self-help, community service, and nurturing talent, guided by values of partnership, inclusivity, and service to the vulnerable. The Foundation aimed to foster social cohesion through support for churches, community outreach, educational establishments, and healthcare initiatives. With voluntary trustees and family stewardship, it prioritised long-term, hands-on collaborations for enduring impact. The Foundation has since ceased operations and is no longer accepting applications.

What Mosawi Foundation funds

The Foundation funded thematic priorities including community-building initiatives, talent development, resilience for those in hardship, capacity building, outreach, and some core costs for scalable, direct-impact projects that shared a self-help ethos. Its support spanned local grassroots efforts to national and international programmes, with no geographic limits. The work it backed could involve churches, community outreach, educational establishments, and healthcare initiatives, reflecting its broad interest in social cohesion and community empowerment.

Who can apply

Eligible entities included UK-registered charities, community groups, and academic institutions of any size or income. There were no religious restrictions, and the Foundation welcomed applications from organisations working with vulnerable groups or those in hardship. While the Foundation was open to a wide range of applicants, it did not accept unsolicited applications, preferring to work through its own partnerships and networks.

What Mosawi Foundation doesn't fund

The Foundation avoided passive or short-term projects, favouring initiatives that demonstrated a self-help ethos and potential for lasting impact. It did not support transactional aid or projects lacking a regenerative, empowering approach. Specific exclusions beyond these were not detailed in the available sources.
