A G Manly Charitable Trust

The Trust funds engineering education for young people, including scholarships, bursaries, training, and careers initiatives that nurture and inspire the next generation of engineers. It also supports children with disabilities, as seen in grants to organisations like Whizz-Kidz. All funding is focused on charities and academic institutions based in London and the South East of England. The Trust prioritises projects that advance engineering careers, skills development, and access to STEM education, with a clear emphasis on measurable impact in talent-building and employability.

Registered charities and academic institutions based in London or the South East are eligible to apply. The Trust prioritises organisations that support children, young people, and disabled individuals through engineering education and related programmes. It has a strong preference for entities with a proven track record in engineering education and those that can demonstrate a clear focus on nurturing young talent. The Trust considers applications from schools, universities, and other academic institutions that align with its mission.

The Trust rarely funds projects outside engineering or STEM education, and does not support general unrestricted costs or activities that fall outside its core focus. Funding is limited to organisations based in London and the South East; projects elsewhere are not considered. The Trust does not typically support non-educational initiatives or those that do not benefit young people or disabled individuals in the context of engineering.

The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and considers grant requests for scholarships, bursaries, training, and careers initiatives. It supports both project costs and programme delivery, with a focus on partnerships that build engineering talent. Grants are made to charities and academic institutions, and the Trust values collaborative approaches that align with its mission of advancing engineering education for young people.
