Quarterly Funding Report February 2025
Albert Gubay was an exceptional man; an entrepreneurial genius who created a business empire that was worth over £700 million.
His determination, drive and passion to create a lasting legacy was born from a pact he made as a young, penniless man when he vowed to give half of any wealth he created to the service of God. His vision became a reality, but Albert Gubay went much further and left most of the wealth he had created during his lifetime to The Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation so that it could be used for charitable purposes in perpetuity.
He had a drive and passion to leave a legacy that would benefit people. By remaining faithful to his dedication to social responsibility and focused upon our specific funding priorities, we aim to continue our work in support of those charities whose vision most closely aligns with that of the Foundation.
The current employees of The Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation are charged by its Founder, Albert Gubay, to remain faithful to his ambition and commitment in supporting charitable causes – mindful that “every penny wasted, or lost, reduces the pot available to the charity.”
