‘A unique partnership of dedication and grace, for whom living was giving.’
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Emeritus Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth
Who we are
The Wohl Legacy is a group of three charitable foundations established by the late Maurice and Vivienne Wohl, which now continues their legacy of support for medical science, welfare and education in the UK, Israel, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and other Jewish populations in need around the world. The three foundations reflect the priorities established by Maurice and Vivienne Wohl in their lifetime.
A lifetime of giving
Maurice and Vivienne Wohl dedicated over 40 years of their lives together to the quiet, generous support of many causes, both in Israel and in the UK.
What we do
Today the Wohl Legacy continues Maurice and Vivienne Wohl’s legacy of support for medical science, welfare and education in the UK, Israel, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and other Jewish populations in need around the world. Historically, the trustees have also given consideration to projects in the arts and humanities. These priorities were all established by Maurice and Vivienne Wohl in their lifetime as causes in line with their own concerns and interests.
Our approach
The Foundations are guided by the principles and values of Maurice and Vivienne Wohl, remaining true to their vision.
