The Brian and Jill Moss Charitable Trust is a grant-making trust established to support UK-registered charities. It operates with a minimalist structure of three trustees and no paid staff, maintaining a low public profile and generalist approach. The Trust exercises broad discretion over charitable purposes, prioritising causes aligned with its trustees' interests. It is known for its reliability and flexibility, favouring established organisations with strong impact cases. The Trust distributes funds to a range of charitable activities, with a particular emphasis on organisations linked to the Jewish community.
What Brian and Jill Moss Charitable Trust funds
The Trust supports health, social care, mental health, and medical research. It funds a flexible range of activities, including service delivery, capital projects, research, core costs, and capacity building. Beneficiary charities are typically medium to large organisations operating primarily in England and Wales, though the Trust is flexible for UK-wide work via UK entities. Specific examples include social care for older Jewish people, Jewish mental health services, and blood cancer research. The Trust responds to trustee priorities in healthcare and community wellbeing.
Who can apply
The Trust funds UK-registered charities. It favours established organisations, often with substantial incomes, operating primarily in England and Wales. A particular emphasis is placed on organisations linked to the Jewish community. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, as grants go predominantly to charities known through trustee networks. The Trust does not have a formal application process, so eligibility is determined by trustee discretion and alignment with their priorities in health and social needs.
What Brian and Jill Moss Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust has no strict thematic exclusions, allowing responsiveness to trustee priorities. However, it does not typically fund very small organisations, unsolicited requests are not accepted, and international work is rare unless conducted through a UK entity. The Trust focuses on medium to large charities, so very small or unregistered groups are unlikely to be supported.
