About This Funder
The Crerar Trust is a private charitable trust rooted in Scottish philanthropy, established to prevent or relieve poverty, advance education, health, citizenship and community development, and provide relief to those in need due to age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
It funds specific, measurable project and revenue grants for practical, locally impactful initiatives in these areas, prioritising enduring community uplift through targeted interventions. The Trust does not support endowments, memorial funds, annual appeals, political organisations, general appeals or pass-through charities.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups, with a strong preference for those operating in Scotland; there are no religious restrictions, and while income levels are considered with a preference for smaller organisations, no strict minimum or maximum applies.
Typical grants range from £5,000 to £25,000. Unsolicited applications are welcomed annually via email—contact clerk@crerartrust.com to request the form during the 2025 window from 17 November to Friday 12 December.
