Inlight Trust
About This Funder
The Inlight Trust, established in 1957, is a UK-based charitable funder dedicated to advancing non-denominational religious and spiritual activities that promote the spiritual development, healing, and growth of individuals and communities across the United Kingdom. Its founding ethos emphasizes inclusivity, openness, and holistic spiritual well-being without favoring any single faith or denomination, fostering transformational spiritual care in diverse settings. With a stable mission reinforced over decades, the Trust supports grantees through a trusting, enabling approach rather than prescriptive directives, distinguishing itself by its cross-spiritual focus and commitment to undenominational religious purposes.
It prioritizes funding for UK-registered charities delivering spiritual care, healing practices, faith-based community support, hospice chaplaincy, and end-of-life spiritual services, including projects and general charitable activities aligned with religious and spiritual enrichment. Grants enable practical initiatives in palliative care, community healing, and broader spiritual growth programs, with a track record of supporting 14-20 organizations annually through modest, tailored awards.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities of small to medium size with a demonstrable history in these areas—no income thresholds, regional restrictions, or religious criteria apply, and unsolicited applications are welcomed via written letter at any time. Trustees review submissions at regular ad hoc meetings (historically quarterly, now more frequent), with decisions made on a rolling basis and no fixed deadlines or online portal. Total annual giving ranges from £125,000 to £265,000 in small grants, excluding non-religious activities or those outside its core spiritual focus, making it a unique partner for inclusive, non-sectarian spiritual missions.
