Arthur Camp Foundation Trust

The Arthur Camp Foundation Trust is a low-profile UK charity (number 1187958, incorporated in England and Wales as CE020697), governed by a small board of volunteer trustees with no paid staff. Established to advance charitable purposes at trustees' discretion, its core mission centers on animal welfare, particularly grants supporting the rehoming, rescue, and veterinary care of domestic animals in distress. Operating without a public website or outreach, it embodies a trustee-led, flexible approach prioritizing practical frontline outcomes over broad publicity, drawing from unrestricted funds to sustain direct animal protection efforts.

It funds animal welfare charities focused on rescue operations, sheltering, rehoming, and medical care for domestic pets, as evidenced by recent grants to organizations like Rescuing European Animals in Need and Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home. Support covers project delivery, core costs, and operational needs for grassroots animal shelters, with a consistent pattern of backing UK-based entities delivering tangible welfare impacts—no funding for human communities or unrelated causes.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in the UK (primarily England), with a preference for small to medium-sized, local or regional groups aligned with animal welfare; no formal income limits apply, though modest-sized organizations predominate. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants are awarded by trustee invitation only, with no public process, deadlines, or decision timelines. Typical awards range from £5,000 to £15,000.

Distinctive for its narrow, unwavering focus on domestic animal rescue and vet care, the trust avoids statutory restrictions, religious biases, or non-charitable activities, differentiating it through discreet, high-impact giving to proven animal welfare providers without expansive criteria or open calls.
