Wolfson Family Charitable Trust
The Wolfson Family Charitable Trust (WFCT) is a sister trust of the Wolfson Foundation with the same administration and similar aims. A list of Trustees is available here.
The Trust was established in 1958 and currently has assets of over £40 million and an income of some £1.5-2 million each year.
The aims of the Trust are similar to those of the Wolfson Foundation: backing excellence, particularly in areas that are under-funded. Applicants are encouraged to use funds as a catalyst, so that the Trust's funding can lever additional support.
A large majority of the assets derive from the realisation of the Trust's historic involvement in Israel's Paz Oil Company and so the majority of the funds are allocated for programmes in Israel.
A small number of awards are made each year to organisations in the UK. British organisations wishing to apply to the Trust should apply in the same way as applicants to the Wolfson Foundation. Please note, however, that deadline dates may be different for applications to the Wolfson Family Charitable Trust. Applications should not be submitted to both the Wolfson Foundation and the Wolfson Family Charitable Trust at the same time.
