Find Out MoreOur mission is to use innovate thinking, the human capital of the trustees and strong governance to leverage our financial capital in supporting both entrepreneurial charitable activity and long standing philanthropic endeavours, including crisis work both in the UK and globally.
The Mickel Fund aims to be a flexible and helpful funder that builds relationships with the organisations we fund. We have a small team who work hard to provide the support required by charities that wish to make applications. We recognise that charities are often dealing with complex issues and we try to provide as much advice and support as we can in addition to donations.
We are always happy to answer telephone and e-mail enquiries to give pre-application support as appropriate. We sometimes meet with potential applicants but only once we have received an application.
