register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Cannon Charitable Trust
The Cannon Charitable Trust is a family-managed philanthropy, established in 2000 and led by trustees Robert Thomas Tauber and Juliana Tauber. Its core mission is to promote, encourage, and finance religious education and social welfare initiatives in the UK and globally. Grounded in values of moral and spiritual wellbeing, practical aid, and faith-aligned community support, the Trust operates without denominational restrictions. It prioritises established organisations delivering ongoing charitable work in these areas, with an emphasis on broad, inclusive impact across moral, spiritual, and practical domains. While UK-based giving predominates, the Trust also supports equivalent work worldwide. A distinctive feature is its invite-only, trustee-led approach: it does not accept unsolicited applications, focusing instead on medium to large established charities.
What Cannon Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds charities advancing religious education, such as faith-based learning programmes, and social welfare activities, including community aid and support for vulnerable groups. It supports both project costs and core funding for organisations delivering ongoing charitable work in these areas. Causes may include moral and spiritual wellbeing, practical aid, and community support, aligned with the Trust's objects. There are no exclusions by age, faith, or specific need, allowing broad impact. Geographically, the Trust primarily supports work in the UK but also considers equivalent initiatives globally. Focus areas from its metadata include faith, education, and community.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities (or equivalents globally), with a preference for medium to large established organisations rather than startups or grassroots groups. There are no strict income thresholds or geographic limits beyond alignment with the Trust's objects. Beneficiary groups are not restricted by age, faith, or specific need, reflecting its inclusive approach. The Trust prioritises proven UK-rooted charities delivering work in religious education or social welfare. However, applications are only accepted via direct trustee invitation; unsolicited applications are not considered.
What Cannon Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust excludes individuals, non-charitable organisations, and activities unrelated to its objects of religious education and social welfare. It does not support startups or very small grassroots groups, focusing instead on medium to large established charities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; all funding decisions are made by trustee invitation only.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides funding at the trustees' discretion, offering both project and core costs. Grants are awarded to established charities on an invite-only basis, without public calls or published processes. The funding style is one-off or ongoing based on trustee decisions, with a focus on reliable, substantial support for proven organisations working in its priority areas. The Trust does not consider unsolicited approaches.
