About Amar Family Charitable Trust

The Amar Family Charitable Trust is a family-run grant-making charity established in 2011 and registered in England and Wales, governed by four longstanding trustees from the Amar family. Its broad mission is to apply income for exclusively charitable purposes as trustees deem fit, emphasising flexible, responsive philanthropy without a rigid strategy or outcome framework. Distinctive for its low-profile, personalised approach—no website or formal processes—it prioritises ethical governance, internal controls, and discretion in supporting registered charities and voluntary bodies.

What Amar Family Charitable Trust funds

The Trust funds a diverse array of causes, including disability, education, health, social welfare, poverty relief, and Jewish community initiatives. It backs both major national organisations and smaller charities in medical research, frontline care, and community welfare. Beneficiaries span children, adults, and vulnerable groups across project, core costs, revenue, and occasional capital needs, with trustees adapting to emergent societal priorities. The Trust operates throughout England and Wales.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies primarily operating in England and Wales, including those with overseas work. No religious restrictions apply. The Trust supports organisations working with children, adults, and vulnerable groups. There are no income thresholds, and the Trust welcomes unsolicited applications from proven charities seeking adaptable funding.

What Amar Family Charitable Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund individuals or non-charitable entities. It also excludes direct individual aid or service delivery, focusing instead on supporting registered charities and voluntary bodies.

How they like to fund

The Trust offers flexible, responsive funding for project, core costs, revenue, and occasional capital needs. It welcomes unsolicited applications and operates with a family-driven, discreet approach, adapting to emergent priorities without formal processes or rigid strategies.
