About Grove Manor Charitable Trust

The Grove Manor Charitable Trust is an independent family-led grant-making trust established in 1997 and registered with the Charity Commission. Based in London and operating without paid staff, its mission is to advance any charitable purposes recognised under English law, both in the UK and abroad. The Trust values trustee discretion and flexible funding across diverse causes. It supports a wide array of charitable activities for registered charities, with no prescribed thematic focus, reflecting a generalist and adaptable approach.

What Grove Manor Charitable Trust funds

The Trust funds registered charities across a broad range of causes including relief of poverty, education, health, arts, environment, and overseas aid. It supports projects, core costs, or general purposes, providing unrestricted funding where appropriate. While registered in England and Wales, the Trust also considers charitable work overseas. Its flexible, generalist approach means it does not limit itself to specific programmes or beneficiary groups, focusing instead on clear public benefit under charity law.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities of any size or income, with no geographic restrictions within or beyond the UK. The Trust does not specify preferred beneficiary groups, as its funding is directed purely to charitable organisations. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; charities may approach the Trust directly with proposals that demonstrate alignment with charity law and public benefit.

What Grove Manor Charitable Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund activities outside charity law. Beyond this statutory boundary, it places no set exclusions on cause areas or types of work, maintaining a wholly open and discretionary approach.
