Inman Charity
About This Funder
The Inman Charity is a UK-based grantmaking trust established in 1970 by the Inman family, dedicated to enhancing wellbeing and care for vulnerable groups through compassionate, practical support. Its core mission focuses on alleviating suffering via targeted funding for medical research, elderly care, hospices, general welfare, support for the deaf and blind, care for the physically and mentally disabled, and the Armed Forces community. Guided by values of independence, flexibility, prudent stewardship, clarity, and integrity, it employs a responsive, needs-led approach, prioritizing established charities delivering measurable impact to beneficiaries like older adults, those with long-term illnesses, disabilities, sensory impairments, or in palliative care. Grants support both frontline projects and core costs, sustaining essential services nationwide.
Eligible applicants are solely UK-registered charities, with no income thresholds, geographic restrictions within the UK, or preferences for organization size—though recent awards favor reputable groups with proven track records. Unsolicited applications are welcomed via email to appeals@inmancharity.org, requiring a two-page PDF covering letter (detailing purpose, request, and charity number) and latest annual report/accounts; medical research may include fuller reports. The email body must be blank, subject line only the charity name; post is not accepted.
Grants typically range from £2,000 to £5,000, with flexibility for larger awards. Biannual deadlines are end-February (April meeting) and end-August (October meeting), next on Sunday 31st August 2025; decisions follow 4-6 weeks later. Exclusions include education, religious activities, environmental causes, animal welfare, individuals, and general building maintenance capital. Distinctive for its non-bureaucratic process, thematic precision on health/disability vulnerabilities, and reliable partnership for UK charities driving direct, tangible benefits.
