The A J Stone and Family Charitable Trust is a traditional family-run grant-making trust established in 2020. Governed by four trustees, its mission encompasses advancing education, relieving poverty, and promoting religious and other public charitable objects. The trust takes a flexible, discretionary approach to funding, acting as a generalist rather than a specialist or strategic funder. It supports a broad spectrum of charitable activity and prefers to avoid innovative or strategic funding trends, instead focusing on varied charitable needs that come before the trustees. With a national remit across England and Wales, it stands apart as a broad-purpose family philanthropy, guided by the trustees' judgement and placing importance on robust governance.
What a J Stone and Family Charitable Trust funds
The trust funds charities working in education, poverty relief, religious causes, and other areas of public benefit. As a generalist funder, it does not set cause-specific or geographic priorities, and it is open to a wide variety of charitable activities. Grants may support project costs, core costs, capital expenditure, revenue, and unrestricted funding, giving charities flexibility in how the money is used. The trust operates across England and Wales, with no preference for particular regions. Its broad approach means it can respond to a diverse range of needs, as long as the applicant is a registered charity based in England and Wales.
Who can apply
Only UK-registered charities based in England and Wales are eligible. The trust has no income thresholds, and its scale suggests a likely preference for small to medium-sized organisations. Individuals are not supported, and neither are non-charitable bodies. There is no religious restriction on applicants: charities of any faith background, or none, may be considered. While the trust promotes religious objects, that does not limit who can apply, and it supports a broad range of public charitable purposes.
What a J Stone and Family Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust does not fund individuals, and it confines its support to registered charities rather than non-charitable bodies or voluntary groups that are not charities. It places no thematic exclusions, so there are no subject areas that are automatically ruled out. Geographic restrictions apply in practice: only charities based in England and Wales are considered.
How they like to fund
Funding is entirely discretionary and by invitation only. The trust does not accept unsolicited applications, and there is no open application process. Grants can be made for a range of purposes, including project costs, core costs, capital, revenue, and unrestricted support. The trustees take a flexible, family-led approach, deciding on support as needs come to their attention, rather than following a fixed programme or competitive cycle.
