The Solo Charitable Settlement is a family-governed grant-making trust established in 1983, chaired by Peter David Goldstein with trustees from the Goldstein family. It is rooted in values of impartiality, public benefit, and diligent stewardship, and maintains a consistent, generalist approach to funding. The Trust supports registered charities delivering direct services, with a focus on relieving poverty and suffering while advancing education.
The Trust funds a broad spectrum of causes, including poverty prevention, health promotion, cultural and scientific development, and quality-of-life improvements. Beneficiaries include children, youth, elderly people, disabled people, and ethnic minorities, both in the UK and internationally, without geographic restrictions. It prioritises charities addressing deprivation, hardship, inequality, and educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups, with a preference for small to medium-sized organisations providing practical interventions. The Trust supports projects, core costs, and capital needs.
The Trust is distinctive for its stable family oversight, transparent compliance with charity law, and open, wide-ranging support that avoids thematic silos. It does not fund individuals or non-charitable organisations, and excludes activities that do not align with its aims.
