Humanitarian Trust

The Trust prioritises higher education through a postgraduate student grant programme for those at recognised universities in England and Wales. It also provides project-specific funding for charities delivering educational and training programmes, health initiatives, disability assistance, and support for children and young people. Beneficiaries include postgraduate students with funding shortfalls and grassroots groups providing measurable community benefits. The Trust favours concrete interventions such as tuition or subsistence aid over general purposes. Its work is focused on England and Wales, with a particular emphasis on London.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups operating in England and Wales, especially London, with a preference for smaller entities unable to access mainstream funding. The Trust supports organisations that deliver measurable community benefits, and postgraduate students with funding shortfalls who are studying at recognised universities in England and Wales. The Trust's approach is personalised and relationship-based, and it does not accept unsolicited organisational applications.

The Trust does not fund core or administrative costs, capital projects, non-academic activities, or overseas travel and fieldwork. It also excludes part-time, short-term, or distance learning courses, and activities such as arts, music, sports, and youth work that fall outside its academic focus.

The Trust provides project-specific funding for charities and grants for postgraduate students. It favours concrete interventions such as tuition or subsistence aid. Grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion, and the Trust does not accept unsolicited organisational applications, instead working by invitation or through its own identification of suitable causes.
