The Eureka Charitable Trust is a UK-based charitable incorporated organisation established in 2015. 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. Governed by five trustees exercising absolute discretion, the Trust acts as a versatile funder, supporting innovative, high-impact charitable projects judged worthy by its trustees. It does not accept unsolicited applications; instead, trustees directly approach organisations they wish to support, reflecting a deliberately discretionary and unrestricted funding character.
What Eureka Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a diverse array of charitable activities, including education, health, child welfare, disability support, social care, and community development. It often leans towards children and youth initiatives. Support can take the form of projects, core costs, or unrestricted funding, and has reached both large national charities and small grassroots groups across the UK and globally. There are no geographic, religious, or other restrictions provided organisations are legally charitable and align with the trustees' judgement of public benefit. This flexibility allows the Trust to respond to evolving needs wherever they arise, without tying funding to a particular theme or place.
Who can apply
Any legally charitable organisation may be considered, regardless of size or income. There are no geographic or religious restrictions, and no requirement to be UK-based. In practice, because the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, eligibility is determined by the trustees, who directly approach organisations they wish to support. Organisations that are aligned with the trustees' judgement of public benefit and operate for charitable purposes are the intended recipients.
What Eureka Charitable Trust doesn't fund
No fixed exclusions exist: the Trust may support any legally charitable cause, subject to the trustees' discretion. However, because it does not accept unsolicited applications, unsolicited proposals will not be considered.
How they like to fund
Funding is entirely discretionary and trustee-led. The Trust awards grants as projects, core costs, or unrestricted funding, and may support both one-off initiatives and broader organisational needs. It does not accept unsolicited applications; instead, trustees directly approach organisations they wish to support. This relational style means there is no public application process, and the Trust is able to respond flexibly to emerging needs.
