According to the Christmas letter posted by George Michael’s family:
This year we have also launched The George Michael Fund, and to celebrate the 40th anniversary donated a substantial amount from George’s Last Christmas record royalties to some 20 organisations raising money for causes close to George’s heart.
Yioda, Jack and David
When George Michael was still alive, he created The Mill Charitable Trust. George’s family and executors have now decided to continue that work using the title The George Michael Fund to continue his charitable legacy. The George Michael Fund will give grants to assist the organizations and issues which were close to George’s heart.
The George Michael Fund made more than 20 grants to organizations working with children and young people in the United Kingdom from George’s record royalties accumulated from sales of Last Christmas.
Grants from The George Michael Fund helped:
- disadvantaged children wake up on Christmas morning to a present.
- organizations supporting children and young people with their mental health.
- support LGBTQ+ young people who might be estranged from their families or experiencing homelessness.
