Randeree Charitable Trust

The Randeree Charitable Trust, a UK-based grant-making foundation established in 2013 by the Randeree family, is chaired by Shireen Randeree with family and expert trustees. Its core mission is to promote interfaith dialogue, religious understanding, community cohesion, and youth empowerment, particularly for disadvantaged and British Muslim communities. Rooted in values of tolerance, social integration, and opportunity creation, the Trust adopts a strategic, proactive approach—fostering leadership development, civic engagement, and anti-hate initiatives through education, mentoring, and capacity-building partnerships, exemplified by its role in establishing the British Muslim Trust to combat anti-Muslim hatred.

It prioritizes funding interfaith activities, youth leadership programs, skills development for Muslim faith leaders, anti-discrimination efforts, social mobility projects, environmental education, art therapy for vulnerable youth, and amateur sports for cohesion. Beneficiaries include young people from minority backgrounds, faith communities (especially British Muslims), and divided groups, with grants supporting organizations like The Faith & Belief Forum, The King's Trust, and Aziz Foundation for measurable social impact.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, preferably established medium-to-large entities with proven track records, operating UK-wide with benefits for British Muslim or interfaith communities; smaller groups may partner via umbrellas. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding is invitation-only via trustee-led, proactive selections, with no open deadlines or public process (scholarships like AGM Randeree have separate portals). Typical grants range from £10,000 to £50,000 for projects, capacity building, or partnerships; core costs or unrestricted funding are rare.

Distinctively, the Trust avoids small one-off or capital grants, emphasizing long-term infrastructure like hate crime responses and British Muslim leadership, differentiating it through family-driven influence, values-led collaborations, and national anti-hate impact over broad open calls.
