Eureka Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Eureka Charitable Trust is a UK-based Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) established in 2015, dedicated to advancing exclusively charitable purposes for public benefit worldwide. Governed by five trustees who exercise absolute discretion, its mission is intentionally broad and generalist, with no fixed thematic, sectoral, or geographic priorities, enabling flexible responses to evolving needs. Core values emphasise legal compliance, ethical conduct, prudent financial stewardship, and risk management, as evidenced by audited accounts and substantial charitable expenditure exceeding £2.5 million in 2023.
The Trust funds a diverse array of charitable activities, including education, health, child welfare, disability support, social care, and community development, often leaning towards children and youth initiatives. Past grants to organisations like Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), Pencils of Promise, Teach First, Wellchild, and international entities such as Tushinde Foundation and Pivot Community Development Corp demonstrate support for projects, core costs, and unrestricted funding across large national charities and small grassroots groups, both in the UK and globally.
Eligible entities include any legally charitable organisations of all sizes and incomes, with no geographic, religious, or other restrictions, provided they align with trustees' judgement of public benefit. However, it does not accept unsolicited applications—selected recipients are approached directly by trustees, with no public process, online forms, guidelines, or deadlines. Grants range from under £10,000 to over £500,000, awarded adhoc via unpublicised trustee meetings.
Distinctively unrestricted and discretionary, Eureka avoids rigid priorities or exclusions beyond UK charity law compliance, positioning it as a versatile funder for innovative, high-impact charitable projects judged worthy by its trustees.
