• Funding focused on charities that can demonstrate strong impact and evidence of need

• Applications accepted on a rolling basis

Who can apply?

• UK registered charities and CIOs

It also excludes a number of organisation types, including individual schools, universities, hospitals, hospices, residential care homes and charities primarily focused on regranting.

Funding: Typically £30,000–£40,000 per year

The Trust awards grants at Trustee meetings held three times per year, so applicants are assessed for an appropriate upcoming funding round.
