Law Family Charitable Foundation

The Law Family Charitable Foundation, established by philanthropists Andrew and Zoë Law, formalizes their longstanding commitment to strategic philanthropy, focusing on enabling long-term positive change through grants to UK charities. Rooted in values of responsibility, opportunity, and community benefit, it amplifies the impact and sustainability of organizations addressing root causes via scalable, evidence-based solutions. Distinctive for its family-led approach with sustained trustee engagement, the Foundation prioritizes multi-year partnerships over reactive funding, often catalyzing systemic interventions and unlocking additional support from other funders.

It funds initiatives in social mobility, youth opportunity, education, mental health, and community resilience, targeting under-served young people and disadvantaged communities. Supported activities include educational access and achievement (e.g., via the Law Family Education Trust), employability skills, well-being programs, capacity building, core costs, and infrastructure for national or London-focused organizations delivering measurable outcomes in urban and disadvantaged areas.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities with proven leadership, strong evidence bases, and medium-to-large scale operations; geographic focus is UK-wide, with emphasis on London and high-need urban zones. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding is invite-only, identified proactively by trustees on a rolling basis with no deadlines or public processes.

Grants typically range from £50,000 to £1,000,000+ for multi-year projects, excluding small one-off relief or unproven efforts. This strategic, risk-tolerant style sets it apart, favoring innovative leaders in its themes for lasting, high-impact change.
