The B and P Glasser Charitable Trust, established in 1984, is a discreet grant-giving trust administered by a small group of unpaid trustees. It operates without paid staff or public fundraising, embodying a traditional philanthropic ethos of responsive support. The trust prioritises enabling recognised organisations to sustain their impactful services through flexible, general-purpose grants, rather than funding direct project delivery or strategic programmes. Its mission centres on furthering the work of established charities in health, disability, children's welfare, and humanitarian aid, with a focus on unrestricted core support for organisations demonstrating significant beneficiary reach.
What B and P Glasser Charitable Trust funds
The trust supports health, disability, children's welfare, and humanitarian aid initiatives. It typically backs ongoing activities addressing sight loss, child welfare, emergency relief, and healthcare for marginalised communities. Grants are directed to large, well-established charities operating in the UK and internationally, with a preference for unrestricted core support that helps sustain impactful services. The trust funds both UK-based work across England, Wales, and Scotland, as well as international efforts, favouring organisations with proven track records and significant beneficiary reach.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, preferably large entities with proven track records. The trust shows no strict income thresholds but favours substantial organisations over small or grassroots groups. There are no geographic restrictions on where the charity operates, but the trust prioritises those with significant beneficiary reach. Beneficiary groups include people affected by health issues, disabilities, children in need, and communities requiring humanitarian aid.
What B and P Glasser Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust does not fund innovative interventions, capital projects, or small-scale efforts. It avoids direct project delivery or strategic programmes, instead focusing on flexible core support. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, and the trust does not engage with public fundraising or online application processes. It also excludes organisations that are not UK-registered charities or those lacking a proven track record.
How they like to fund
The trust provides flexible, general-purpose grants, typically as unrestricted core support for ongoing activities. Awards are made ad hoc at the trustees' discretion, exclusively to invited charities. The trust does not accept unsolicited applications and operates without published guidelines or formal processes. Its funding style is selective and hands-off, prioritising established organisations with significant reach.
