About 64 Trust

The 64 Trust is a grant-making charitable incorporated organisation established in 2020 and based in Liverpool, England. Managed by four trustees with robust governance policies on safeguarding, risk, and conflicts, it exists solely to provide discretionary grants to UK-registered charities and not-for-profits advancing charitable purposes under UK law. Its generalist approach lacks thematic priorities, beneficiary focuses, or strategic outcomes, embodying flexibility and broad sector support without named founders, visions, or public engagement.

What 64 Trust funds

The trust funds a wide spectrum of charitable activities, including project-specific needs like ICT equipment for schools, capital costs, and unrestricted or core support, with no restrictions on interventions, philosophies, or cost types. While open to any UK charitable work in principle, grants evidence a primary focus on Merseyside (Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral), targeting established organisations such as local schools and regional not-for-profits rather than grassroots groups, individuals, or very large entities.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities or academic institutions based in the UK. The trust targets established organisations such as local schools and regional not-for-profits, rather than grassroots groups, individuals, or very large entities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, with funding via direct invitations only and no published process or forms.

What 64 Trust doesn't fund

The trust does not fund individuals, grassroots groups, or very large entities. It does not support direct projects, advocacy, or non-UK work. There are no published recipient examples or decision criteria, and the trust operates with a low-transparency, trustee-discretionary model.

How they like to fund

Funding is via direct invitations only, with no published process or forms. The trust provides discretionary grants, including project-specific needs, capital costs, and unrestricted or core support. It distributes its annual expenditure solely as grants, with no direct projects or advocacy.
