Dahl’s Legacy
Roald Dahl was truly special man and his legacy lives on through the various projects below:
The Roald Dahl Foundation:< br />
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 million in grants. (excerpt from the website)

The Roald Dahl Museum:p>
The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is a registered charity (no: 1085853). It was established in 2001 with the aim of setting up a centre to tell Roald Dahl’s life story, to care for his archive and to promote a love of creative writing in everyone. The Museum employs professional staff, has a board of Trustees and is supported by four Patrons.
Our sister charity, The Roald Dahl Foundation, is also based in Great Missenden. It was established by Roald Dahl’s widow, Felicity Dahl, in 1991 to help children and their families in the three areas of literacy, haematology and neurology. This grant-giving charity does not benefit from sales of Roald Dahl’s fiction. To find out more about the Foundation, please visit their website.
Dahl & Dahl, the Roald Dahl literary estate, manages and promotes the work of Roald Dahl worldwide. This commercial partnership also maintains the award-winning official Roald Dahl website for the writer’s fans throughout the world. (excerpt from website)
