R L Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The RL Charitable Trust, founded in 2016 by the Lazar family—including chair Dr John Wilfred Lazar CBE—focuses on transforming the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people under 25. Rooted in values of education, equality of opportunity, and practical, long-term interventions, the Trust acts as a selective steward of resources, prioritizing enduring societal impact over short-term aid. It proactively identifies and invites grantees, fostering a hands-on, relationship-driven model that emphasizes well-managed organizations delivering measurable outcomes.
Funding targets projects alleviating poverty, advancing education and training from preschool to higher education, supporting those with disabilities, and addressing health, housing, clothing, and hardship needs. Key beneficiaries are deprived youth facing ill health or limited opportunities, with supported activities including educational bursaries, at-risk interventions, and targeted programs for positive life changes. Grants primarily fund projects, occasionally core costs, but favor non-denominational initiatives with strong educational progress.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities—financially robust with excellent governance—prioritizing those based in London, Oxfordshire, and Gloucestershire, alongside UK-wide efforts and Sub-Saharan Africa projects via UK entities; exceptional cases elsewhere may qualify. No income thresholds apply, but recipients must demonstrate impact on young people.
Typical grants range from £10,000 to £50,000, with some multi-year awards larger. Applications are invite-only on a rolling basis, with no public deadlines, forms, or unsolicited submissions accepted, distinguishing the Trust as a highly targeted funder committed to strategic alignment and proven efficacy.
