register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Dagny Raymond Charitable Trust
The Dagny Raymond Charitable Trust is a discretionary grant-making charity established in 2000. It operates without a published strategy or thematic focus, guided by the trustees' judgment and the Charity Commission's public benefit principles. The Trust supports a broad range of charitable activities, with income from investments funding consistent grants. Its funding character is that of a traditional private trust, where trustees exercise absolute discretion to support any charitable institution or purpose, valuing flexibility and responsiveness over a preset agenda.
What Dagny Raymond Charitable Trust funds
Trustees support a wide range of charitable activities, including youth services, social welfare, outdoor education, and community support. They fund both restricted and unrestricted grants, covering core costs, projects, or general operations. The geographic focus is primarily England and Wales, though support for worldwide charitable work is possible. There are no prescribed themes or issue priorities; trustees choose causes they deem worthy, reflecting the Trust's generalist approach.
Who can apply
UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies are eligible to receive support. The Trust has a preference for small to medium-sized organisations but sets no income thresholds. Beneficiary groups are not prescribed, but the Trust's funding history shows support for youth, education, and community causes. Charitable status under English law is the primary criterion.
What Dagny Raymond Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-charitable activities. It only supports UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies, so individuals and non-charitable organisations are not eligible. There are no other prescribed exclusions.
How they like to fund
The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; trustees select grantees themselves. It offers both restricted and unrestricted support, covering core costs, projects, or general operations. There is no formal application process or prescribed funding themes.
