Soli and Leah Kelaty Family Trust Fund

The Soli and Leah Kelaty Family Trust Fund is an independent family charitable trust established by deed on 7 September 1999, governed by trustees Sharon Mozel Kelaty, Frederick Sion Kelaty, and David Lerer. Its core mission is to support worthwhile charitable causes at trustees' full discretion, emphasising flexible, family-led philanthropy for public benefit. With no remuneration for trustees and a commitment to distributing nearly all annual income—£124,197 in grants from £102,000 income for the year ending March 2024—it prioritises voluntary service and broad charitable impact without a formal strategic plan or theory of change.

The trust funds general charitable purposes, with a focus on education and training, religious activities, and overseas aid or famine relief, supporting projects, core costs, or other needs for charities, voluntary bodies, and occasionally individuals. Beneficiaries span the UK (primarily England and Wales) and abroad, serving the general public and mankind through trustee-selected initiatives without thematic sub-priorities or target populations specified.

Eligible entities are limited to UK-registered charities and community groups, with no income, size, organizational, or geographic base restrictions—funding operates anywhere at trustees' discretion. It does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded rolling via trustees' networks and judgement, with no forms, portals, deadlines, or open rounds.

Distinctive for its highly discretionary approach, the trust avoids prescriptive criteria, exclusions beyond charitable alignment, or published grantee lists, making it ideal for networked organisations seeking generalist support in education, religion, and humanitarian causes from a low-profile family funder committed to full annual distribution.
