Causeway Trust

The Trust funds a diverse array of charitable activities determined by recipients, spanning poverty relief, community development, and social welfare. Grants can cover project costs, core funding, or unrestricted support, allowing organisations to direct funds where they are most needed. The Trust supports work anywhere in England and Wales, with a preference for small to medium-sized organisations. This flexibility means that the specific causes and activities funded are shaped by the needs and priorities of the recipient charities, rather than being prescribed by the Trust.

Beneficiaries are exclusively registered UK charities and voluntary bodies operating anywhere in England and Wales. The Trust shows a preference for small to medium-sized organisations, without strict income thresholds. It does not accept unsolicited applications, so organisations typically need an invitation or prior connection with the trustees. This approach means that the Trust proactively seeks out and supports charities that align with its mission, rather than responding to open calls.

The Trust excludes funding for individuals, non-charities, or activities outside recognised charitable objects. This means it does not support personal grants, unregistered groups, or work that falls outside the legal definition of charitable purposes.

The Trust operates with a closed, proactive funding model, prioritising existing relationships over open calls. Grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion, and unsolicited applications are not accepted. The Trust provides financial support that can be used for project costs, core funding, or unrestricted purposes, offering flexibility to recipient organisations.
