 The general public benefit rule in the "poverty" category is that "gifts for the relief of poverty among poor people of a particular description" is charitable; "gifts to particular persons, the relief of poverty being the motive of the gift" are not.As with poverty, this category is also found in the 1601 Act's preamble, which refers to charities established for the "Maintenance of... Schools of Learning, Free Schools, and Scholars at Universities".The common law, over the years, has recognised a wide area covered by "education".
