Ralph Levy Charitable Company Limited

The charity supports initiatives throughout England and Wales in education, social welfare, medical research and practice, and the arts. It funds core activities, programme delivery, research, and service enhancements. Specific themes include widening access and advancement in education, knowledge advancement in medical science, and improving outcomes for educational and medical bodies. Occasionally, overseas work is considered. All funding must align with the charity's objects of applying income towards charitable purposes recognised by law and promoting knowledge in the science of medicine.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities only. The charity gives priority to medium-to-large organisations with proven track records and established capacity. No strict income thresholds apply, though preference leans toward reputable, well-established charities. There is no religious restriction. Unsolicited applications are welcomed, and the charity stewarded by trustees including the Chair, maintaining a family-founded legacy approach.

The charity does not support capital projects, emergencies, direct individual aid, or non-charitable uses. In line with its charitable objects, it restricts funding to activities that advance education, social welfare, medical research, or the arts, and does not provide grants for building works, crisis response, personal assistance, or purposes outside recognised charitable law.

The charity provides flexible unrestricted funding, often as general-purpose revenue support, to maximise impact. It welcomes unsolicited applications from eligible organisations. Grants are typically for core activities, programme delivery, research, or service enhancements. Income is derived from legacies and investments, and the charity favours giving established organisations the autonomy to allocate funds where most needed.
