CMSB Charitable Trust is an independent generalist grant-making charity established in September 2006. Governed by a trust deed and operated solely by two unremunerated trustees with no staff, the Trust's core mission is to deliver benefits across a broad spectrum of charitable purposes. It supports charitable work through flexible, inclusive grants that address diverse and evolving social needs. The Trust funds both UK-registered charities and needy individuals, with no published priorities or thematic preferences. Its funding character is trustee-led and low profile, emphasising discretion and adaptability over visibility.
What CMSB Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds general grants and donations without published priorities. It potentially covers project support, core costs, or direct individual aid for communities in need. There are no restrictions on sectors, beneficiary groups, or grant types. The Trust shows no evidence of long-term thematic targeting or geographic preferences, and support can extend anywhere globally. Its broad alignment with charitable objects means a wide range of causes are considered.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities. There are no income thresholds, size limits, or geographic restrictions. The Trust also supports needy individuals, though applications are accepted only from charitable organisations. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded invite-only via trustees' networks and assessments.
What CMSB Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not have published exclusions beyond non-charitable purposes. It does not fund activities that fall outside the definition of charitable purposes. There are no restrictions on sectors or beneficiary groups within the charitable scope.
