BCH Trust
About This Funder
BCH Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Commission number 1138652), dedicated to advancing education by receiving donations and distributing targeted grants to support learners and organisations across the region. Established with a mission to provide educational opportunities and resources, particularly for those facing barriers to access, attainment, and outcomes, it emphasises transparency, accountability, and maximising impact through grassroots initiatives. Its distinctive approach lies in an unwavering commitment to education as a driver of empowerment and social mobility, funding projects that deliver clear benefits to disadvantaged individuals and communities without engaging in trading or remunerating trustees.
The trust prioritises educational advancement, supporting learning, training, development activities, project funding, direct resources for learners, and occasional core costs that enable outcomes; it backs both individuals and organisations addressing local and national needs in England and Wales, with a focus on small to medium-sized grassroots efforts.
Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and community groups based in England and Wales, with a preference for those with annual incomes below £1,000,000; it does not accept unsolicited applications, relying instead on trustee-led research and outreach for selections. Grants typically range from £1,000 to £10,000, awarded discretionarily at periodic rolling trustee meetings with no fixed deadlines, public forms, or guidelines.
BCH Trust excludes capital projects, preliminary enquiries, and non-educational activities, setting it apart as a specialised, low-overhead funder laser-focused on high-impact education for the underserved, ensuring nearly all resources reach beneficiaries.
