Solo Charitable Settlement
About This Funder
The Solo Charitable Settlement, established in 1983 as a family-governed grant-making trust chaired by Peter David Goldstein with trustees from the Goldstein family, focuses on relieving poverty and suffering while advancing education through grants to registered charities delivering direct services. Rooted in values of impartiality, public benefit, and diligent stewardship, it maintains a consistent, generalist approach, supporting a broad spectrum of causes including poverty prevention, health promotion, cultural and scientific development, and quality-of-life improvements for children, youth, elderly, disabled people, and ethnic minorities—both in the UK and internationally, without geographic restrictions.
It funds projects, core costs, and capital needs aligned with its aims, prioritising charities addressing deprivation, hardship, inequality, and educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups, with a preference for small to medium-sized organisations providing practical interventions.
Eligible applicants are solely UK-registered charities (or equivalent overseas), with no income thresholds but a pattern of favouring direct-service providers; unsolicited applications are welcomed via email or letter, including charity details, project needs, charitable status evidence, and beneficiary impact data—no formal form required. Trustees review submissions at quarterly meetings (March, June, September, December), with decisions typically in 1-3 months.
Grants range from £2,000 to £15,000 (mostly £5,000–£10,000), usually for one year. It excludes individuals, non-charities, and misaligned activities, distinguishing itself through stable family oversight, transparent compliance with charity law, and open, wide-ranging support for enduring charitable needs without thematic silos or fixed deadlines.
