Sobell Foundation

Categories: Philanthropy

Group

From : "The Sobell Foundation was established by the late Sir Michael Sobell in 1977 for general charitable purposes and is a grant-making trust with which he was actively involved until shortly before his death in 1993.  The deed of charitable trust, under which the Sobell Foundation was formed, is not specific about the objects of the Trust and allows the Trustees absolute discretion to apply funds for general charitable purposes."

They certainly waste no money on website designers - no graphics, just basic information about the foundation and how it dispenses funds.
