register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Greenwood Christian Trust
Greenwood Christian Trust is a grant-making charity registered in England and Wales since 1995, founded by individuals linked to the Greenwood family. Rooted in Christian principles, the Trust emphasises faith-based philanthropy while retaining flexibility to support broader community needs. Trustee-led decisions are made without remuneration, reflecting a low-profile approach focused on meaningful impact in Nottinghamshire. The Trust prioritises grants to organisations promoting Christian beliefs and values, such as churches, faith groups, and community initiatives serving the public good. It supports project costs, core funding, or faith activities, and favours causes aligned with its ethos that demonstrate public benefit. Eligible applicants must operate primarily in Nottinghamshire, with a preference for modest-scale, local charities and grassroots efforts. Distinctive for blending faith advancement with generalist charitable discretion, the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications and excludes causes not aligned with its values.
What Greenwood Christian Trust funds
The Trust funds a range of work that advances Christian beliefs and values, including activities run by churches, faith groups, and community initiatives that serve the public good. Support can cover project costs, core funding, or faith activities, with a preference for causes that demonstrate clear public benefit and align with the Trust's ethos. Geographically, the Trust focuses on Nottinghamshire, favouring modest-scale, local charities and grassroots efforts operating primarily in that area.
Who can apply
UK registered charities operating primarily in Nottinghamshire are eligible to apply. The Trust prefers modest-scale, local charities and grassroots efforts, with no strict income thresholds specified. Organisations promoting Christian beliefs and values, including churches and faith groups, are prioritised, though the Trust also supports community initiatives that demonstrate public benefit and alignment with its ethos.
What Greenwood Christian Trust doesn't fund
The Trust excludes causes not aligned with its Christian values and ethos. It does not fund organisations or activities that operate outside Nottinghamshire or that conflict with its faith-based principles.

It supports both project costs and core funding, as well as faith activities, with a low-profile approach focused on discretionary grants aligned with its values and public benefit.
