Geoffrey and Pauline Martin Trust
About This Funder
The Geoffrey and Pauline Martin Trust, established on 29 December 2017 as a UK-registered charitable trust, promotes charitable purposes primarily in England and Wales, with a distinctive dual mission to address chronic health challenges—such as cancer, arthritis, asthma, kidney diseases, neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis, and age-related illnesses—and animal welfare, particularly for cats. Reflecting the founders' vision of compassion for both human sufferers and animals, the trust emphasises research, patient support, and direct interventions while maintaining flexibility through broad charitable objects that benefit the public good.
It funds established UK-registered charities delivering impactful activities, including medical research, patient care services, support for older adults and those with serious illnesses, and animal rescue/welfare programmes, especially cat-focused initiatives. Beneficiaries range from national organisations like the Multiple Sclerosis Society to regional animal welfare groups, prioritising demonstrated impact over size.
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities based in England or Wales, with no geographic sub-restrictions, income thresholds, or religious limits; individuals are rarely supported. The trust operates invite-only, accepting no unsolicited applications—trustees proactively select aligned organisations without published processes, deadlines, or meeting schedules.
Typical grants range from £5,000 to £50,000, often £10,000–£30,000 for project or core costs in focus areas, excluding capital, seed, unrestricted, or emergency funding. Its unique blend of medical and feline welfare priorities, trustee discretion, and support for both major and niche charities sets it apart, favouring enduring, high-impact work.
