East End Family Trust

The East End Family Trust is a grant-making charity registered in England and Wales in January 2008, established via a family trust deed and governed by three trustees who exercise absolute discretion in advancing general charitable purposes. Rooted in evangelical Christianity, its core mission emphasizes propagating the Christian faith, supporting the welfare of disadvantaged children, and international development aid, guided by values of trustee integrity, faith-informed compassion, and practical humanitarian impact. This private family trust stands out for its stable, trustee-led approach, prioritizing organizations that align closely with evangelical outreach and child-focused transformation without public fundraising campaigns.

It funds faith-based evangelism, youth welfare programs for at-risk or underprivileged children, education, vocational training, community services, and international aid projects. Recent grantees include UK charities like Citicare International, Link International, Adventure Plus, Five Talents UK, and St Mary’s Church, supporting Christian sports outreach, church initiatives, and aid for vulnerable youth—often via unrestricted or project-based grants that enable core costs or direct delivery.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities based in the UK, with a preference for small to medium-sized grassroots organizations lacking large fundraising capacity; projects may span UK or international locations. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants are invite-only, selected at trustees' discretion on a rolling basis with no deadlines, public calls, or forms.

Typical grants range from £2,000 to £10,000, occasionally higher for key partners. Distinctively evangelical and discreet, the trust avoids non-aligned causes, statutory bodies, or profit-making entities, differentiating itself as a niche supporter of Christian-led child welfare and global mission work with demonstrable faith impact.
