Cazenove Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Cazenove Charitable Trust is a UK-based charity tied to the heritage of JP Morgan Cazenove and Cazenove Capital Management, established to encourage and amplify charitable giving among its current and retired employees through a dedicated match-funding scheme. Its core mission centers on doubling the impact of staff-driven fundraising by matching personal donations up to an annual limit, fostering values of partnership, stewardship, social responsibility, and civic engagement within the financial services community. Governed by nine trustees and compliant with Charity Commission standards, the Trust prioritizes employee empowerment over direct grantmaking, embedding philanthropy within its founding business network rather than pursuing broad external agendas.
It supports a diverse array of UK-registered charities chosen by participating employees, spanning sectors like medical research, education, community development, poverty relief, and international aid, with no thematic, geographic, or programmatic restrictions—grants mirror the varied interests of fundraisers and can cover projects, core costs, capital, or unrestricted needs.
Eligibility is strictly limited to UK-registered charities championed by Cazenove-linked individuals; the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications from external organizations and has no income, size, or geographic thresholds beyond UK charity status. Eligible employees or retirees apply on a rolling basis with proof of funds raised, with trustees meeting periodically—no formal deadlines apply.
Typical matched grants range from £500 to £1,000 per individual endeavour (total 2024 spend: £84,333), distinguishing the Trust through its exclusive internal model that excludes open grantmaking, direct cause selection, or non-employee-driven initiatives, making it uniquely accessible only to charities with a Cazenove staff advocate.
