Brilliant news! The Indy Pantry has just been awarded £6,620 from Julia and Hans Rausing. The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust is an independent grant-making charitable fund supporting organisations and charities within the UK. They grant approximately £50 million to charities and good causes on an annual basis, making them two of the UK’s most significant philanthropists.
The funding will help support the costs of running the Indy Pantry so that our community can continue to purchase food and goods at a low price, so helping to reduce food poverty, and ease the pain of the cost of living crisis we face today.
The Trust exists to realise the philanthropy of Hans Rausing and Julia Rausing.
Since its formation, it has provided over 1,000 grants totalling more than £330 million. Funding is given to organisations working within three main areas: Health and Wellbeing; Welfare and Education; and Arts and Culture.
By supporting charitable initiatives within these areas, the Trust aims to foster a healthy society that gives care to those in need, provides opportunity for all, and offers inspiring cultural engagement.
The Trust is a named fund held within The Master Charitable Trust (MCT). The MCT is a donor-advised fund managed by C. Hoare & Co. Bank and is a registered charity (number 1139904). Donations made from The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust are directed by Julia and Hans Rausing and verified by Messrs. Hoare Trustees.
