Elizabeth Frankland Moore and Star Foundation

The Elizabeth Frankland Moore and Star Foundation is a UK-based grant-making charity dedicated to advancing a broad spectrum of charitable purposes by providing targeted financial support to UK-registered charities, with occasional aid to individuals. Rooted in a commitment to positive societal change, it emphasizes improving quality of life and reducing disadvantage through hands-on trustee engagement, including personal visits and event participation to ensure deep understanding and verifiable impact. Its values of trust, diligence, and responsiveness define a non-bureaucratic approach, prioritizing observable outcomes over rigid processes.

The foundation funds initiatives in medical and scientific research, support for vulnerable and marginalized people, war veterans, homelessness, human rights, the arts, education, and hospices. Grants back diverse activities like direct welfare, advocacy, creative programs, youth services, heritage conservation, and cultural projects, as seen in support for organizations such as Kibble (youth services), Scottish Ballet, Saxmundham Museum, and the Textile Conservation Foundation. Both project-specific and core costs (revenue or capital) are considered for UK-wide efforts benefiting at-risk communities.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities of any size—small grassroots to established ones—with no income thresholds or regional restrictions across England, Scotland, and Wales. Unsolicited letter applications are accepted rolling via post to the trustees at Neuhoff & Co, 11 Towcester Road, Whittlebury, Northamptonshire NN12 8XU, including organization overview, project details, funding needs, accounts, and charity number; allow 2-4 months for quarterly trustee decisions.

Typical grants range £5,000-£10,000, often one-off or repeat, with no fixed deadlines. Distinctively hands-on and discreet, it avoids exhaustive restrictions, online forms, or campaigns, differentiating through purposeful breadth, active oversight, and accessibility for aligned causes—excluding only non-UK entities or misaligned activities.
