Greig Trust
About This Funder
The Greig Trust is a grant-making charitable incorporated organisation established in 2015, consolidating historic Greig family educational charities like the H S & S V Greig Fund and David Greig Educational Trust, with roots in generations of philanthropy for the Hornsey community. Its core mission is to promote education in line with Church of England principles, prioritising children and young people in the London Borough of Haringey through sustained partnerships with faith-based schools. Guided by Christian values, it emphasises practical, transformative support for teaching, learning, and life opportunities, fostering accountability via school impact reporting and trustee visits.
The Trust funds school-based projects, revenue support, extracurricular enrichment, curriculum recovery, pastoral care, and mental health initiatives, with a strict hierarchy: first St Mary's CE Primary School, Hornsey; second Greig City Academy; third other Church of England schools serving Haringey pupils; and fourth individual young people under 29 residing in Haringey for educational advancement. Beneficiaries include diverse, disadvantaged pupils eligible for free school meals.
Eligibility is invite-only for UK-registered charities and academic institutions—exclusively Church of England schools educating Haringey children—no unsolicited applications or national organisations. There are no fixed income thresholds, favouring smaller educational entities in Haringey. Grants vary in size for meaningful impact (exact ranges undisclosed), awarded via annual invitation rounds; the board meets quarterly to decide, notifying schools directly of windows and requirements, with no public deadlines or online forms.
Distinctively hyper-local and faith-specific, the Trust avoids advocacy, policy work, or non-Haringey applicants, stewarding family legacy assets for direct, place-based educational equity in a high-need borough.
