Charterhouse Charitable Trust

The Trust funds a broad range of causes including education, poverty relief, culture, health, community development, and specialised care. It prioritises projects that demonstrate a wider community benefit. While the Trust has a strong preference for London and surrounding areas, it also considers impactful initiatives across the UK. Grants may support project costs, core costs, or specific activities, but the Trust avoids blanket or recurring funding, instead favouring flexible interventions tailored to the needs of the charity.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities. The Trust does not impose income thresholds or religious restrictions. It has a particular interest in charities working within London and surrounding areas but also supports impactful initiatives elsewhere in the UK. Funding is invite-only, meaning the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; charities are approached through trustee networks and recommendations.

The Trust does not explicitly exclude any specific areas but its discerning, generalist ethos means it favours meaningful, non-operational interventions. It avoids blanket or recurring funding and does not accept unsolicited applications, focusing instead on targeted opportunities identified through its own networks.
