Harvest Charitable Trust
About This Funder
Harvest Charitable Trust, established in 1982 as a UK-registered charity (number 326159), is a lean, trustee-led grant-making trust dedicated to relieving poverty and advancing Christian mission both domestically and internationally. Rooted in evangelical Christian principles, its ethos emphasizes practical compassion, tangible impact for marginalized communities, and the extension of Christian witness through targeted giving. With no paid staff and decisions made by four trustees, it operates as a modest, relational funder—recent income around £238,000—prioritizing strategic support over open processes.
The Trust funds a broad spectrum of faith-aligned activities, including poverty alleviation, humanitarian aid, education, health initiatives, church-based outreach (e.g., food banks, shelters), youth and community services, and missionary capacity-building. Beneficiaries typically include established Christian missions, churches, and charities with evangelical foundations, spanning direct relief and program enhancement, with a noted interest in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and UK-wide efforts.
Eligible organizations are primarily small to medium-sized faith-based charities with proven track records in poverty relief or Christian mission; no strict income thresholds apply, and geography is unrestricted. However, it is invite-only—no unsolicited applications, formal processes, or deadlines—with grants awarded at ad hoc trustee meetings several times yearly.
Typical grants range from £2,000 to £10,000 (average £5,000), covering project, core, or capacity needs but excluding secular causes, general expansion, or projects lacking explicit Christian or poverty focus. Its distinctive stability, flexibility across borders, and exclusive emphasis on faith-driven humanitarianism set it apart as a niche supporter for aligned evangelical partners.
