The AJS Charitable Trust is a small family-led funder established in 2015. Its mission is to provide flexible support and relief across a broad spectrum of UK charitable causes through discretionary grants. The Trust adopts a generalist approach, without thematic or sectoral restrictions, emphasising strengthening the voluntary sector via unrestricted funding for core costs and revenue needs. Its values centre on adaptability, independence, and broad charitable impact. The Trust supports diverse legitimate charitable purposes across any area, prioritising organisations that demonstrate clear need and impact.
What Ajs Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a wide range of charitable causes across the UK, with no stated priorities for specific themes or populations. It supports both small projects and organisational sustainability, offering unrestricted grants for core costs, revenue needs, and non-programmatic activities. Historical grants indicate a national reach, supporting UK charities of varying types and sizes that deliver clear need and impact.
