The Soli and Leah Kelaty Family Trust Fund is an independent family charitable trust established in 1999. It is governed by trustees who operate with full discretion, emphasising flexible, family-led philanthropy for public benefit. The trust is committed to distributing nearly all its annual income, prioritising voluntary service and broad charitable impact without a formal strategic plan or theory of change. The trust funds general charitable purposes, with a focus on education and training, religious activities, and overseas aid or famine relief. It supports projects, core costs, or other needs for charities, voluntary bodies, and occasionally individuals. Beneficiaries span the UK, primarily England and Wales, and abroad, serving the general public through trustee-selected initiatives without specified sub-priorities or target populations. Distinctive for its highly discretionary approach, the trust avoids prescriptive criteria or published grantee lists. It does not accept unsolicited applications, making it ideal for networked organisations seeking generalist support in education, religion, and humanitarian causes from a low-profile family funder.
