Biographical history
The charity was established in January 1883 as The Mitchell City of London Charity, whereby an endowment of c £120,000, bequeathed in the will of Thomas Alexander Mitchell M.P. (d 1875), was to be used for charitable purposes benefiting the City of London, providing educational grants and pensions for the elderly.
The fund was administered as The Mitchell City of London Charity until 1906, when by an Order of the Charity Commissioners part of the endowment was specifically assigned to educational purposes and the remainder assigned to eleemosynary (charity) purposes. The portion of the endowment set aside for educational purposes was to be administered under the title of the Mitchell City of London Educational Foundation. By 1939 the two aspects of the Foundation had rejoined under the title Mitchell City of London Charity and Educational Foundation. The Foundation is still active (2007) and continues to award grants.
