Introduction
The Roald Dahl Foundation is a UK-based registered charity offering a programme of grant-giving to charities, hospitals, and individuals in the UK only. We support many varied projects, in exactly the same way Roald Dahl did when he was alive, offering practical assistance to children and families in three areas: neurology, haematology and literacy. Since our creation in 1991, we have donated over £5.5 million in grants.
The Roald Dahl Foundation is funded in part through an endowment, as well as through additional fundraising. Notable supporters include the UK national sponsored reading scheme Readathon ®, the Friends of the Roald Dahl Foundation, payroll-giving, as well as many school children and private individuals who give of both their time and money. In addition to this, we benefit from the REVOLTING RECIPES series of cookbooks and through performances of an ambitious programme of new orchestral music, based on Roald Dahl's stories and rhymes, specially commissioned on our behalf.

"The Roald Dahl Foundation was instrumental in our development. They helped us to take the step from being just a contact group to a UK-wide charity, providing information and direct support."
