Bmta Trust
About This Funder
The BMTA Trust is an established UK charity with roots in the British motor industry, dedicated to providing financial support to individuals facing barriers to education, training, and employment in the automotive sector. Its mission emphasizes practical welfare grants that empower employed, previously employed, or aspiring motor trade workers—along with their dependents—to achieve self-reliance through equal opportunity initiatives.
The Trust funds one-off hardship and welfare grants specifically for automotive-related needs, such as vocational training, education costs, tools, travel expenses, tuition fees, and wellbeing support. Grants to organisations are extremely rare and limited to those connected with education or training in the sector.
Eligible applicants are primarily UK-resident individuals aged 16 or over, receiving little or no financial support and committed to goals in the motor industry; academic institutions may qualify exceptionally for training-related projects. There are no religious restrictions, and applications from organisations are not typically accepted.
Typical grants range up to £1,000 (averaging around £1,020), with £170,000 distributed in 2023. Unsolicited applications are welcomed on a rolling basis via an online form on their website, requiring supporting documents like references, payslips, and cost quotes.
